The document discusses Emily Davison, a British suffragette who fought for women's right to vote in the early 1900s. It outlines how she was repeatedly jailed for her acts of civil disobedience, which included interrupting political meetings and setting fire to unoccupied buildings. Her most famous act was running into the path of the king's horse at the 1913 Epsom Derby, where she was trampled and died four days later from her injuries. Though controversial, her death helped further draw attention to the suffragette movement and their fight for women's suffrage.
