It was a man's world in many respects, across law, land ownership, voting rights, family structures and religious hierarchies. The stories we know about those involved that fateful night are as varied as the people aboard the ship, but many of them revolve around the roles and actions of the men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new book from Melinda Ratchford delves into the world as it was for women in 1912, and presents a selection of women's stories, including a variety of women who travelled aboard \u003cem\u003eTitanic\u003c\/em\u003e, from rich to poor, and well-known to largely forgotten, and also stories of some women who didn't travel but whose lives were inextricably linked to the tragedy and changed forever. This collection of stories presents the lives of these women before, during and after the tragedy that irrevocably changed their world, and ours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelinda E.
