Everyone from suffragists to their opponents; radicals, reformers, and capitalists; critics of technology and modern life; racists and xenophobes and champions of racial and ethnic equality; editorial writers and folk singers, preachers and poets found moral and cultural lessons in the sinking of the Titanic. In a new edition that both commemorates the one hundredth anniversary of the disaster and elaborates, in a revised afterword, on the ship's continued impact on the public imagination (evidenced by the Titanic mania evoked by James Cameron's 1997 film), Steven Biel explores the Titanic in all its complexity and contradictions.

This book traces the social history of the Titanic during its time, when the bluestockings were agitating for the vote and social conservatives feared women's suffrage would mean the end of civilized society. The various uses to which the disaster was put, both at the time and in the present, are surprising and well documented in Biel's work. It is a quick and very interesting read.
