| Suffragette, born in London, UK. She studied at London University and Oxford, and in 1906 became a militant member of the Women's Social and Political Union. Frequently imprisoned, she often resorted to hunger-striking. In the 1913 Derby, wearing a WSPU banner, she tried to catch the reins of the king's horse and was trampled underfoot, dying several days later. |
