Description
Nellie Bly's remarkable life is revealed in this account of her time in an asylum. In 1887, she embarked on a daring experiment to expose the harsh conditions faced by patients in mental institutions.
Under the guise of being mentally unstable herself, Nellie Bly gained admission to the Women's Lunatic Asylum in New York City. Her undercover investigation led to significant changes in the treatment and care of patients at the asylum.
This gripping story offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of America's pioneering female journalists and her courageous quest for truth.
