In this episode, Jennie and Dianne celebrate Women's History Month as they explore the lives and legacies of two women who helped to tame the Wild West.  First we'll meet Margaret Tobin Brown, more famously known today as Molly Brown. She was a socialite and philanthropist known for her courage and tenacity, particularly during the sinking of the Titanic. Her story is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. We follow Margaret's story with that of her social arch nemesis, the Queen of Denver Society, Louise Bethel Sneed Hill. Louise took Denver's "social wasteland" and created her own high-class hierarchy that included the who's who of Denver's wealthiest and most influential people at the turn of the 20th century. Join us as we explore the impact of these two Ordinary Extraordinary women on history and society. Don't miss this special Women's History Month episode of our podcast!

Jennie and Dianne are joined by David Moffat, a Visitor Services Specialist & researcher at The House of the Seven Gables. David has done a lot of research into the life and work of Caroline Emmerton, the woman who saved the House of the Seven Gables by turning it into the museum we know today and using the funds from that museum to create a settlement house for thousands of immigrants who came to America in search of a new home.  Emmerton’s legacy can be traced all across the city of Salem. Her grave is in Harmony Grove Cemetery. Her birth house still stands on Summer Street and her home as an adult can still be seen today on Essex Street. The mark of her generous spirit can be found at the Women’s Friend Society on Hawthorne Boulevard and at the Plummer Home for Boys on Winter Island. Come along as we learn more about one of America's most Ordinary Extraordinary women!
