The Sinking & the Finding of the RMS TITANIC
Dubbed "unsinkable," April 14th marks the 113th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean. Truly "unsinkable" was Margaret Tobin Brown (aka Molly), probably the most famous survivor of the disaster, who went on to live a full life as an influential philanthropist.
Margaret Tobin Brown - The Suffragist
The one and only “Unsinkable Molly Brown" was born in 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri. In addition to surviving the sinking of the RMS Titanic, Margaret was also a suffragist fighting alongside a multitude of women in their attempts to change laws so that women in the USA would be afforded the right to vote. Their efforts didn't come to fruition until 1920. As women today, can we truly recognize how lucky we are because of those brave women?
