historical card for Margaret "Maggie" Tobin Brown, known as "Molly Brown"

NAME: Margaret "Maggie" Tobin Brown, known as "Molly Brown"
DATE OF BIRTH: July 18,1867
DATE OF DEATH: October 26, 1932
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Margaret Brown is widely known as "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," a woman famous for surviving the sinking of the Titanic. She was also an actress, an activist and was a devoted philanthropist. Her husband started as a miner; moved up to superintendent; and then gained his fortune by inventing a method to reach the gold at the very bottom of mines. In 1894 the Browns moved to Denver and became active in its philanthropic and political circles: Margaret was one of the founders of the Denver Woman's Club which assisted women and children and also worked to begin one of the first juvenile courts in the country. Shortly after she attempted to gain a seat in Congress, even before women received the right to vote. While the Browns were in Egypt in 1912, they learned that their grandson was ill; Margaret booked her seat on the Titantic to go to him. Margaret's heart and fluency in languages allowed her to aid her fellow passengers during the sinking of the Titanic. The French Legion of Honour recognized Margaret in 1932 by awarding her for her efforts during the sinking and her work with miners and women and children.
