How did molly brown get the nickname unsinkable?
Margaret Brown, née Tobin (July 18, 1867 – October 26, 1932), more widely known as Maggie Brown or Molly Brown, was an American socialite, philanthropist, and activist who became famous as one of the survivors of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. She became known after her death as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, although she was never called Molly during her life. Her fame as a prominent Titanic survivor helped her promote the issues she felt deeply about — the rights of workers and women, education and literacy for children, and historic preservation. During World War I in France she worked with the American Committee for Devastated France to rebuild areas behind the front line, and helped wounded French and American soldiers. She was awarded the French Legion of Honour for her good citizenship including her activism and philanthropy at home in America. For the last years of her life she was an actress. Margaret Tobin Brown died of a brain tumor on October 26, 1932, at age 65. Sources:
