About this audiobook

Nellie Bly, the pioneering journalist and adventurer, broke barriers in investigative reporting and women’s rights. Born Elizabeth Cochran Seaman in 1864 in Pennsylvania, Bly challenged societal norms to pursue a career in journalism. This biography explores her groundbreaking exposé on the conditions of mental asylums in Ten Days in a Mad-House, which revolutionized investigative journalism. Bly’s daring spirit also led her to circumnavigate the globe in 72 days, inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days. Her courage, tenacity, and advocacy for women’s rights cemented her legacy as a trailblazing journalist who used her voice to expose injustice and inspire progress. This book honors her life, her fearless reporting, and her role in shaping the future of journalism.
