Born Elizabeth Cochran, “Nellie Bly” muscled her way into journalism and landed at Pulitzer’s New York World — which handed her a terrifying assignment: fake insanity, get committed to the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island, and report what really went on. She found rancid food, freezing baths, cruelty, and women no more insane than she was, trapped with no way to prove their sanity. Her exposé, Ten Days in a Mad-House, triggered a grand jury investigation and sweeping reforms. Two years later she raced around the world alone, beating the fictional record from Jules Verne’s novel in just over 72 days.

  • The chilling catch: the more normally she behaved inside, the crazier they insisted she was
  • From asylum reformer to record-setting globe-trotter to WWI war correspondent
