Reviews
"Political journalist Lucy Fisher's debut is a compelling examination of the short but eventful life of the suffragette Emily Davison, who sacrificed her life at the 1913 Derby, living up to her organisation's maxim of "deeds not words". Fisher's skilful biography unpacks the apparent contradictions in Davison's life; born into upper-middle-class privilege, a series of tragic reversals saw her family reduced to poverty and led her to become radicalised from a young age. Fisher does not shy away from describing the cruelty of the treatment that suffragettes received, but makes a convincing case for Davison having achieved a great deal more than simply being a martyr to the cause." - Alexander Larman, the Observer
Synopsis
Emily WildingDavison was the most famous suffragette to die in the battle for women's rightsafter she rushed onto the Epsom racecourse in 1913 and collided with the King'shorse.

In thiscentenary year of UK women first receiving the franchise, this biographyreveals the true story of Davison's life and times. A middle-classgoverness for most of her adulthood, she pivoted towards violence, vandalism,jail time and force-feeding only in her final years. Lucy Fisher, a Times journalist, draws on thesuffragette's own words, contemporary press reports, local histories andacademic scholarship to paint a vivid picture of a strange life and a tragicfinale., Emily Wilding Davison was the most famous suffragette to die in the battle for women's rights after colliding with the King's horse at the Epsom Derby in 1913, but who was she?

- c***a (121)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!
- m***4 (1608)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoLeaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
