The story: Nellie Bly took on the newspaper establishment in a time when reporting was not seen as a fit occupation for women, and turned the world on its ear by spending ten days in a madhouse to do a report on the terrible conditions there. She followed it up by traveling around the world in LESS than 80 days--72 days, to be precise. Read the true story of this intrepid girl reporter to see just how far women have come in the 100 years since then!
