Helen Churchill Candee (October 5, 1858 – August 23, 1949) was an American author, journalist, interior decorator, feminist and geographer. Today she is best known as a survivor of the sinking of RMS ''Titanic'' in 1912 and for her later work as a travel writer and explorer of southeast Asia. ==Early life== Helen was born Helen Churchill Hungerford, the daughter of New York City merchant Henry Hungerford and his wife Mary Churchill. She spent most of her childhood in Connecticut. She married Edward Candee of Norwalk, Connecticut, and had two children by him, Edith and Harold.〔''Biographical Cyclopedia of U.S. Women'' (1924)〕 After her abusive husband abandoned the family, Helen Candee supported herself and children as a writer for popular magazines such as ''Scribner's'' and ''The Ladies' Home Journal''. She initially wrote on the subjects most familiar to her—genteel etiquette and household management—but soon branched into other topics such as child care, education, and women's rights. For several years she resided in Oklahoma, and her stories about that region helped to catapult her to national prominence as a journalist. Helen Candee divorced her husband in 1896, after a lengthy separation.〔Linda D. Wilson, "Helen Churchill Candee: Author of an ''Oklahoma Romance''," ''Chronicles of Oklahoma'', 75:414 (1997)〕
