suggest to you?
Waiting there in the sun, in that happy scene,
among the crowd, she had in her soul the thought,
the vision of wronged women.
That thought she held to her; that vision she kept
before her. Thus inspired, she threw herself into the
fierce current of the race.
So greatly did she care for freedom that she died
for it.

Emily Davison and a fellow-militant in whose flat she
lived, she had considered a Derby protest without
tragedy - a mere waving of the purple-white-and-green
at Tattenham Corner, which, by its suddenness, it was
hoped would stop the race.
Whether from the first her purpose was more serious,
or whether a final impulse altered her resolve, I know
not.
Her friend declares she would not thus have died
without writing a farewell message to her mother.
