Molly Brown

WILLA Literary Award Winner and Colorado Book Award Winner!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 "e;The Unsinkable Molly Brown,"e; but in the process her life story was distorted beyond recognition. Even her name was changed-she was never known as "e;Molly"e; 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 "e;Molly"e; Brown was far more fascinating than her myth, and Kristen Iversen has captured her in all her brilliance.
