When Margaret Tobin Brown arrived in New York City shortly after her perilous night in Titanic’s Lifeboat Six; a legend was born. Through magazines; books; a Broadway musical; and a Hollywood movie; she became "The Unsinkable Molly Brown;" but in the process her life story was distorted beyond recognition. Even her name was changed—she was never known as Molly during her lifetime. Kristen Iversen’s "Molly Brown: Unraveling the Myth" is the first full-length biography of this American icon; and the story it tells is of a passionate and outspoken crusader for the rights of women; children; mine workers; and others struggling for their voice in the early twentieth century. In the end; the real "Molly" Brown was far more fascinating than her myth; and Kristen Iversen has captured her in all her brilliance.
