Around the World in Seventy-Two Days: And Other Writings
Born Elizabeth Jane Cochran, Nellie Bly was renowned as America`s first `girl stunt reporter`. She was a pioneer of investigative journalism, including an expose of patient treatment at a mental asylum and a travelogue from her record-breaking race around the world in emulation of Phileas Fogg. This volume, the only printed and edited collection of Bly`s writings, includes her best-known works as well as many lesser-known pieces that capture the breadth of her career from her fierce opinion pieces to her remarkable World War I reporting.
