The 10 Women on the Titanic — 9 Survived. Here's What They Did Next

On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic sank and took 1,517 people with it. But this is not just a story about a shipwreck. This is the story of ten women who were on board that night — what they did in the hours the ship was sinking, and what they did with the rest of their lives after. A socialite who grabbed an oar and refused to stop rowing. A fashion journalist who played a toy pig's melody to children in the dark for six hours. A suffragette who walked off the ship and spent the next sixty years in courtrooms and war zones. A countess who took the tiller of a lifeboat and steered twenty-eight people through the North Atlantic. A seven-year-old girl whose mother refused to sleep the entire voyage because she didn't trust a ship that called itself unsinkable. And one woman who had every right to leave — and chose not to. Ten women. One ship. Ten decisions made in the dark, on a tilting deck, with no way of knowing what came next.
