EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking cartoon from 1914 envisions the future of the Epsom Racecourse in the aftermath of Emily Wilding Davison's groundbreaking action at the 1913 Derby. In response to the suffragettes' persistent efforts to draw attention to their cause, the racecourse authorities took measures to prevent any future disruptions. This satirical illustration depicts a Race Course of the Near Future, where three lines of steel rails form a tunnel to prevent anyone from invading the course. The fencing is also guaranteed suffragette-proof, ensuring that the races can proceed uninterrupted. Emily Wilding Davison made history on Derby Day in 1913 when she stepped onto the track and was tragically killed after colliding with the King's horse, Anmer. Her sacrifice brought widespread attention to the suffragette movement and their fight for women's right to vote. In the aftermath of this event, the racecourse authorities were keen to avoid any repetition of such incidents. This cartoon, published in 1914, offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the situation. The use of steel rails and suffragette-proof fencing highlights the perceived threat that the suffragettes posed to the established order, and the lengths to which the authorities were willing to go to maintain control. The image also serves as a reminder of the significant role that the suffragette movement played in shaping the course of history and securing women's suffrage in the UK.
