In the Eastland disaster of 1915, more women drowned than men primarily due to the social norms of the time, which placed women and children in lifeboats first during emergencies. Many men, following the chivalric code, stayed behind to help others, resulting in fewer men being on the ship when it capsized. Additionally, the ship's design and the chaotic evacuation contributed to the tragedy, leaving many women trapped as the vessel rolled over. Ultimately, the combination of societal expectations and the circumstances of the disaster led to a higher death toll among women.
