Suffragette Emily Davison knocked down by King's horse at Epsom

What happens 😞😩😦😦😦😦😦

i’m here because i’m doing research but i just want to say that the amount of disrespect in this comment section is disgusting. please think of this lady’s memory and legacy. she was passionate about the female right to vote and was willing to risk her life to get the message across. some people need to grow up.

Black and white Darwin award.

Reckless stupidity

How did I not know about Emily Davison though I knew of the heroism of Emmaline Pankhurst and so many others. Thank you for the video and information. My grandmother came to the U. S. in 1913 at the age of 9. She was married off at 16 and had 4 girls. From then on she worked to expand the world that her daughters might participate in. Neither she nor I, her 90-year-old granddaughter, could imagine that soon — we will have a woman President.

Hope she’s ok x

While we may never know what her intended outcome of this specific protest was, she did fight for a very important cause and won in the end. The amount of people mocking her and the suffragette movement in this comment section baffles me. I hope that most of those people saying such things are either very young and think it's edgy or just trolls trying to get people angry.

Either way, this was a tragic event, but her cause lived on and her sisters won in the end.

Women go through a lot of hurdles.

If that was in 2024 she would of survived

Foolish act all over the right to vote!

Thats girl power 😁

Emily went to Oxford university and has been with horses in the past…I believe this was no mistake she held her hands out to grab the rains of the horse because she wanted to make a scene to promote the suffragette campaign she was willing to take her life because she tried to do it in prison aswell!

The actual chances of her being hit by the King's horse must have been phenomenal!

Camera conveniently placed. Pre arranged perhaps?

Did the horse survive?

The suffragette really suffered. 😅

Did she get "lucky" with it being the King's horse? The speed & the changing of places make it difficult to identify the horse at short notice, i'd imagine!??

Rest in peace

This made my day.

😂

She got knocked the fk out yo

Hope the floor is ok

I mean you have to respect the bravery and audacity.

Based horse

Reminds me on the track running guy in silverstone formula one

People in the comments you are ruthless: emilie davison is one of the reason women got the suffrage in UK she actually make things progress. It can be consider dumb if she didn't intend to die but if it was a sacrifice it was well done and not dumb at all. People in the world actually saw her and assumed her cause. She became a martyr. Even if it was dumb she deserve more respect for her temerity and her sacrifice tha being called "dumb".

Feminists in a nutshell.

I was told
She attempted to put a flag one one of the horses and hope that horse wins
The race. Otherwise she is dumb and wanted to leave earth

The horse didn't knock her down, only her stupidity did.

We don’t all have the courage to act on our convictions

so feminists have been insane for over a century now...explains a lot

Who figured that running in front of a horse was a dumb idea.

I’m rooting for the ladies, but sometimes if you can’t help yourself then… it is what it is. You can’t just be acting like this and then expect things in return.

Women...ruining men's fun since the beginning of humankind

W horse

She walked out in front of the kings horse to bring attention to her cause (votes for women) in front of cameras and world media. Back then, women had no rights and were property of their husbands. A husband had the right to sell his children without her consent. It took two years after women got the vote to recognise a mothers right to her children in uk law. This lady was a marta that turned the tide in a hopless battle and gave it the attention needed for change.

Typical of most psychotic women. No matter how wrong they are, they will insist that they're right........to the death.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Darwin Award winner 🏆

Trust The Guardian to phrase the title of the video in such a way as to blame the horse and not the feminist campaigner

"It was at that exact moment, she knew she..."

What about the Jockey?

What a dense putha. Almost got the jockey killed and the horse put down. As dense as a typical feminist

To think she went through all that just for men to say hey I'm a woman now and take everything away again. As women stand there clapping. Obscene

Arrogance vs Horse, I wonder who would win that one.

So a feminist got a poor horse injured. Got it.

She sure bet on the wrong horse for that race

How unhelpful

"And this is why we don't let you vote"-Calvin Coolidge probably
