On Wednesday the 4th of June 1913, at the annual running of the Derby at Epsom, fledgling newsreel cameras captured just over two-and-a-half minutes of British social and sporting history when Emily Davison, a militant activist for women's suffrage, stepped out in front of Anmer, the King's horse, sustaining injuries from which she would die four days later. In this book, Michael Tanner debunks the myths and reveals for the first time the definitive account of what led to the events of that day and how they unfolded.
