Why do you think the percentage of crew members survived on the titanic was so high?

There were several reasons why so few survived the Titanic disaster. One of which was that there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers, and of those, very few were filled to capacity. The lifeboat procedures were very disorganized, and because of the confusing layout of the ship, many never reached the boat deck in time. Another reason was the temperature of the water: the North Atlantic is notoriously cold, the water temperature averaging at around 28 degrees. Rather than drowning (because most had life preservers), many Titanic passengers froze to death, floating in the open ocean. Another factor was the lack of available help in the immediate area: the Californian was about 18 miles away, but had her radio turned off, and thus didn't hear Titanic's distress signals. The ship that ended up responding to the calls, the Carpathia, was 58 miles away, too far to reach everyone in time. Titanic sank fairly quickly--about two and a half hours--which didn't allow time for sufficient rescue.

How much women worked on the titanic?
None, back in 1912 women typically did not work. Men were the primary workers unless you were not necessarily rich. If you and your family were poor then the wife or woman would work as a seamstress and that did make very much and rich women didn't think too highly of you. But to answer your question the Titanic crew was made up of all men the only women that "worked" on the Titanic were the maids.
