You’ve probably heard of “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” bc of her heroism on the Titanic, but there’s so much more to her story.

Margaret Brown (her real name) fought for workers’ rights, women’s rights, education & even ran for the Senate - before women could vote. She established Titanic’s Survivor's Committee & helped erect the DC memorial.

And yet, Brown wasn't allowed to participate in the congressional Titanic hearings simply bc she was a woman. #history

How many orders of magnitude are we behind as a society due to the silencing of women, half of our population? Thank you for sharing.

She didn’t let societal expectations define her life. She definitely falls into the badass category.

TIL David Simon was making a reference to Molly Brown when he wrote about the Unsinkable Dollie Brown.

Sorry if this derails the topic.
