EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, forever etched in the annals of women's rights. The year is 1913, and at the esteemed horse race for the Derby, an act of radical feminism unfolds before our eyes. Herbert Jones, the jockey entrusted with King George V's majestic horse, finds himself at the center of this extraordinary event. In a daring display of determination and sacrifice, Emily Wilding Davison, a militant suffragette fighting tirelessly for women's rights, throws herself under both horse and rider. This powerful image freezes time as it immortalizes her valiant effort to bring attention to the cause she held dear. The photograph reveals minor injuries suffered by both Herbert Jones and his noble steed while capturing their bewildered expressions amidst chaos. Published in a contemporary English newspaper during that tumultuous era marked by feminist fervor and societal change, this portrait encapsulates not only one woman's unwavering commitment but also serves as a testament to countless others who fought alongside her. Emily Wilding Davison tragically succumbed to her injuries shortly after this incident—a martyr whose name would be forever associated with the struggle for gender equality. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, let us remember those brave souls who paved the way for future generations' progress towards equal rights—women like Emily Wilding Davison—who fearlessly challenged conventions in pursuit of justice and empowerment.
