Because the rule of the sea was women and children were to be saved before men. And men sometimes wanted to be noble and go down with the ship, where as women had their children to take care of.

On the Titanic who was most likely to survive?

If you break the people on the ship down into groups of crew, first, second, and third class, and then each of those into groups of men, women, and children, you'll find that second class children was the only group to have the entire population (of 25) to survive. Women were the most likely to survive in general on the ship, as 72% (324 out of 438) survived. Children were split 50/50 in surviving/dying (56 out of 112 survived). Men only had 19% survive (325 out of 1664 surviving men). In terms of class, first class was the most likely to survive, with 63% surviving (200/319). The next best was second class with 43% (117/269 surviving), that followed by third class with 25% surviving (172/699). Crew was hit hardest with 23% surviving (215/918). So, second class children had the best chance if you want to be specific. Out of women/men/children, women had the best chance. Out of crew/first/second/third class, first had the best chance. Men had the least chance of survival, crew had the worst, and second class men actually had the worst if you get specific. Only 8% survived (13/152).

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.
