Description
Nellie Bly was a trailblazer in investigative reporting. Today, it's nothing strange for a reporter to go undercover to get the scoop on a story. But in the 1800s, that was unheard of, especially if the reporter was a woman! Through Bly's articles, the world became aware of many important social issues of the time including the poor treatment of the mentally ill, the problems that led to strikes, and the struggles and trials of the working class. Bly is best known for her epic adventure of traveling around the world in 72 days, beating the fictional character Phileas Fogg by eight days! Book jacket.
