Danielle Kreutter is a multimedia journalist for Denver7 KMGH in Denver, Colorado.
"She becomes known as the heroine of the Titanic because she's assisting women and children into lifeboats," said Andrea Malcomb, museum director of the Molly Brown House."She's politically engaged, civically engaged, and she also loved to explore and learn new things, new cultures," said Malcolmb."When they wrote the play 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown,' they thought 'Molly' kind of sounds better than Margaret.
She was returning from Europe on the Titanic in 1912 and survived the ship sinking, helping countless others before they were rescued. "In Colorado, women had the right to vote in 1893. So as a state, women were able to vote in federal elections and in local elections. But then the rest of the country says, 'How, Colorado, did you get women the right to vote?' Women of Colorado like Mrs. Brown, like Ellis Meredith, were really instrumental in the national movement for women's voting rights," said Malcomb.
