Description
When Margaret Tobin Brown arrived in New York City shortly after her perilous night in Lifeboat #6, a legend was born. Applauded for her tireless work on behalf of the poorest survivors -- especially women in steerage who had lost all family and possessions, and who spoke no English -- Brown soon became famous throughout the nation and the world. Through magazines, books, a Broadway musical, and a Hollywood movie, she became The Unsinkable Molly Brown, but in the process, her life was distorted beyond recognition. Even her name was changed -- she was never known as Molly during her lifetime ... the story is of a passionate and outspoken crusader for the rights of women, children, mine workers, and others struggling for their voice in the early twentieth century.--adapted from back cover.
Draws from letters, journals, court records, newspaper articles, family memoirs, and other authentic documentation to reconstruct the life of Margaret Tobin Brown, the Titanic survivor who inspired the musical "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" discussing her early years in Hannibal, Missouri, her political work, and her family.
