This is an old post, but I really want to necromance and really want to pull up the story of Lady Duff Gordon.

The story goes he denied to go on a lifeboat without her husband. They both survived

Mind you, she was an entrepreneur and fashion designer and not an MuhOppressed WhaMyn. She had a net worth of several million pound of that times money.

She was absolutely flabbergasted by the behavior of American women expecting their husbands to die.

In her own words:

Even in that terrible moment I was filled with wonder at the American wives who were leaving their husbands without a word of protest or regret, scarcely a farewell. They have brought the cult of chivalry to such a pitch in the States that it comes as second nature to men to sacrifice themselves and to women to let them to do it. But I had no such ideas about my husband and when two officers came up and tried to force me into one of the boats, I refused. #########

See, in English posh tradition, a woman needs to have 4 B. Beauty Brain Bank and Birth.

The Birth part is important, as it teaches her how to be a proper partner to her lover.

But you will not find her as the heroine of a Hollywood love story
