Description
Elizabeth Cochrane has a secret. She's not the madwoman with amnesia the doctors and inmates at Blackwell's Asylum think she is. In reality, she's working undercover for the New York World. When the managing editor refuses to hire her because she's a woman, Elizabeth strikes a deal: in exchange for a job, she'll impersonate a lunatic to expose a local asylum's abuses. But as she navigates the asylum's treacherous landscape, she must confront the true nature of her mission and decide whether to bear witness or intervene on behalf of the abused inmates. A meticulously researched account of Elizabeth Cochrane, this book tells the story of a pioneering journalist who broke through the gender barrier in cutthroat journalism.
