Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the bestselling author of TEN DAYS IN A MAD HOUSE, this collection features the complete articles of pioneering journalist Nellie Bly for the first time. Bly is renowned for her undercover investigation of Blackwell's Island insane asylum and her race around the world to beat Jules Verne's record. However, her career as a reporter, spanning from 1885 to 1922, encompasses much more. During her time at Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, she wrote hundreds of stories on diverse topics, interviewing presidential candidates, criminals, sports legends like John Sullivan, and inspirational figures such as Helen Keller and Susan B. Anthony. Her work ranged from exposing corrupt lobbyists to reporting on strikes and even trying her hand at acting. Despite her adventurous career, only a few of her articles have been accessible until now. Edited by David Blixt, this collection includes her impactful reporting, starting with her explosive debut articles detailing her experiences in the asylum. Among the 33 articles featured are pieces like "What Becomes of Babies," "The Girls Who Make Boxes," and "Nellie Bly on the Stage." Explore the full range of Bly's remarkable talent and her rise to becoming one of America's most famous women!
