My Take
Margaret Brown, the so-called Unsinkable Molly Brown, is the rare historical figure who fully earns her legend in my eyes. A Missouri-born philanthropist and suffragist, she survived the Titanic and famously pressed the crew of Lifeboat No. 6 to row back for survivors. Crisis tends to reveal character, and hers shone: faced with the worst night imaginable, she chose courage and conscience without hesitation. Add a Legion of Honour in 1932 and a place in Colorado's Women's Hall of Fame, and you have a life of nerve and generosity that I find deeply admirable.
