Get ready to journey around the world with Nellie Bly--one of
America's first investigative journalists.
Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman had no idea that the open letter she'd written
to a local newspaper in Pittsburgh in 1885 would change her life
forever. The editor of the paper was so impressed with her writing, that
he offered her a job! She'd later change her name to Nellie Bly and work
as an investigative reporter in New York City.
Known for her extraordinary and record-breaking trip around the world
and her undercover investigation of a mental institution, Nellie Bly was
one of the first female investigative reporters in the United States and
a pioneer in the field of journalism.
