Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women
who stood up, spoke up and rose up against the odds!
In this chapter book biography by New York Times bestselling author
Michelle Knudsen, readers learn about the amazing life of Nellie
Bly--and how she persisted.
Nellie Bly was a journalist and one of the first investigative reporters
ever. She went undercover to expose wrongdoing and famously raced around
the world so she could write about the experience for her newspaper.
Reaching for her dreams wasn't easy. But Nellie never gave up, no matter
how many obstacles she faced--and she helped others along the way.
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white
illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in
Nellie Bly's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for kids
who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women into
their curriculum.
And don't miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series,
featuring so many more women who persisted, including Clara Lemlich,
Sonia Sotomayor, and more!
