    186. Nellie Bly
    Mar 24 2026

    Nellie Bly was a whirlwind in a new form of journalism - Stunt Girl Journalism! At 23 years old she spent 10 days in the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island, exposing the mistreatment of the marginilised in these institutions and sparking reform. Her investigative journalism would take her around the world and even to the Eastern Front during the Great War, but tht's only part of her story.
