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

Sorry if this derails the topic.
