About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Nellie Bly...
Nellie Bly was a rare figure in this world. She was someone who steadfastly refused to follow the crowd. In an age when most people, especially women, were expected to conform to social norms and keep their opinions to themselves, Bly boldly charted her own course. She did not wait for permission to speak her mind, nor did she concern herself with the prevailing sentiments of her day. What made Nellie Bly extraordinary was her commitment to thinking independently. She examined the world through her own eyes, formed her own conclusions, and then fearlessly shared those insights with listeners across America. Whether she was exposing the horrific conditions of an insane asylum, circumnavigating the globe, or challenging corrupt industrialists, she did so without once pausing to wonder if her actions would meet with public approval.

This biography traces the remarkable journey of a woman who transformed journalism not just through what she wrote, but through how she lived. From her humble beginnings in Pennsylvania to her final days in New York, Bly remained true to herself and her convictions. She was not only a gifted writer—she was a champion for all free thinkers everywhere. This is her life—this is her story.
