I was wondering about that part. She was a progressive women, I’m thinking she never married in the movie?
She either married or at least had children, since it was her granddaughter that accompanied her out to the Titanic expedition. I just remember being struck by the use of the gift she was given when her life was saved. I once tried to explain it to one of my daughters, who was around 10 at the time. She didn’t understand, but I hope someday she will.
