Join me for an in-depth portrait of Titanic survivor Helen Churchill Candee, whose 90 years of life coincided an incredible number of times with rather huge historical moments and social developments in the twentieth century. Her story takes us down the road of women's suffrage and early feminism, of course to Titanic's decks, later even to the battlefields of World War I (where her fate intersects with a young Ernest Hemingway's) and then to the farthest corners of then-unexplored Asia. She's far from perfect, for no one is, but her endeavors as a writer, an activist, a traveler, they deserve a second and a third look. She deserves so much more than her historiographical reputation on Titanic as a gatherer of admirers. Cheers!
