As part of our birthday celebrations for suffragette Emily Davison, the Emily of #Emilymatters we ran a Votes For Women Quiz to test your knowledge of suffragette history.

Thanks to Matthew Ward and of the brilliant History Needs You, who created Question 3 for us.

We’ve come a long way since Emily Davison and her sister suffragettes fought for us, future generations, to have the right to vote, to be equal. 

 

Tuesday 11th October

 

Emily Davison was born in 1872 on 11th October, a date which she now shares with the UN’s International Day of the Girl, as well as Ada Lovelace Day!

Our #VFWChat Twitter Chat draws to a close our celebrations for Emily’s birthday. The focus of the chat will be to reflect on the progress made and discuss the challenges that Emily and her sister suffragettes might be urging us all to take on today.

Here are the details:

Thanks for taking part in our quiz, to find out what we’ll be doing next, you can sign up for updates here.

Like Emily Davison herself, we believe in social justice and equality worldwide, not just the right to vote. See our #Emilymatters page to find out more about what we do.

Social media is a key part of our campaign. The suffragettes embraced the modern media of their age, so had they been around today, would have been all over the Twittersphere, etc.

In addition to our online events, we are also developing #Emilymatters outreach and creative projects that include interactive performances, talks, speeches and my Emily Davison play To Freedom’s Cause, which remains at the heart of the #Emilymatters campaign.
