Nellie Bly: Daredevil. Reporter. Feminist

Nelly Bly was "the best reporter in America," wrote the New York Evening Journal on the occasion of her death in 1922. One of the most rousing characters of the late 19th and early 20th century, Nellie Bly was a pioneer of investigative journalism. She feigned insanity and got herself committed to a lunatic asylum to expose its horrid conditions. She circled the globe faster than any live or fictional soul. She designed, manufactured, and marketed the first successful steel barrel produced in the United States. She was the first woman to report from the eastern front in World War I. She was, in the words of Brooke Kroeger's captivating book, the maestro of the front-page sensation story. Integrating a wealth of previously unknown information with a reporter's zeal for the hard fact, this penetrating and revealing biography illuminates a pivotal figure in American journalism.
