Nellie Bly

Women in Journalism - The Best of Nellie Bly

Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman (1864-1922), also known as Nellie Bly, was an American industrialist, journalist, charity worker, and inventor most famous for her 72-day trip around the world in the footsteps of Jules Verne's fictional character Phileas Fogg. She is also remembered for her exposé working undercover in a mental institute, which led to a new style of investigative journalism.
