Born Elizabeth Jane Cochran, Nellie Bly was renowned as America's first 'girl stunt reporter'. She was a pioneer of investigative journalism, including an expose of patient treatment at a mental asylum and a travelogue from her record-breaking race around the world in emulation of Phileas Fogg. This volume, the only printed and edited collection of Bly's writings, includes her best-known works as well as many lesser-known pieces that capture the breadth of her career from her fierce opinion pieces to her remarkable World War I reporting.

"Absolutely fantastic...superb in its entirety" --Maria Popova, Brain Pickings"A classic from one of the first prominent female journalists in America." --Kathryn Schulz, New York Magazine "Splendid...The only thing unbelievable about Nellie Bly is that it's taken this long for her work to be recognized--and with a life story this rich, where is the biopic? Thanks to this new collection at least, Bly's life work will be accessible for a whole new world of readers." --The Daily Beast "From the start, Bly is a natural writer. Her voice is caustic and confident, lilting effortlessly between the gush and private wonder of a schoolgirl's diary and the rigor of the most celebrated political reporters of her time. " --The New Inquiry "If you've never read any of 19th-century journalist Nellie Bly's work, this is the place to start. And if you're a longtime fan of the first 'girl stunt reporter, ' this is definitely a tome worth adding to your library.... [Bly] made indelible observations about a woman's place in the world that are no less valuable today than they were 150 years ago." --Bust Magazine "The editing is outstanding, providing the backstory for this important but all too often neglected figure in American journalism." --Huntington News
