Emily Wilding Davison Memorial

The Emily Wilding Davison Memorial is a monument dedicated to Emily Davison, a prominent suffragette who fought for women's voting rights in the early 20th century. Erected in London’s Victoria Tower Gardens, the memorial honors her daring activism and sacrifice, notably her tragic injury at the 1913 Epsom Derby when she stepped onto the racecourse, intending to draw attention to women’s enfranchisement. The memorial symbolizes her courage and the broader struggle for gender equality, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of social justice.
