Around the World in 72 Days
Around the World in 72 Days
At the age of 19, Nellie Bly talked her way into an improbable job on a newspaper, then went on to become “the best reporter in America.” She was serious and spunky. To expose abuse of the mentally ill, she had herself committed. But when she went around the world in just 72 days, beating Jules Verne’s fictional escapade, she turned herself into a world celebrity.
