The
"Molly Brown" of myth and legend is often portrayed as
an eccentric character,
a social outcast who struggled for
recognition. Even her name is fiction, as she was
not called
Molly in her lifetime. Margaret Tobin
Brown defied social convention of her day to make waves
long before she ever stepped foot on the Titanic!
Hear this world traveler, the epitome of the reform
era's "New Woman", talk about using her wealth and
education to work for the social, political and labor
reform critical to the early decades of the 20th
century. Understand why this remarkable woman is
truly unsinkable!

"I am the
daughter of adventure . . . I never experience a
dull moment and must be prepared for any
eventually. I never know when I may go up in
an airplane and come down with a crash, or go
motoring and climb a pole, or go off for a walk in
the twilight and return all mussed up in an
ambulance. That's my arc, as the
asstrologers would say. It's a good one,
too, for a person who had rather make a snap-out
than a fade-out of life."
Margaret "Molly" Brown
