Rubber Gloves

[Lena Guidi]

Well, I heard Molly Brown invented the rubber glove. Wikipedia.org says: "The rubber glove was invented by Titanic survivor Molly Brown in 1954." How could this be if she died in 1932? Did she really invent them? If so, when? Thankyou.

Some authorities say rubber gloves were pioneered by William Stewart Halstead, a noted surgeon, at Johns Hopkins in 1889. A rather more credible tale!
