      title = {Ten days a madwoman : the daring life and turbulent times  of the original "girl" reporter, Nellie Bly /},
      abstract = {Young Nellie Bly had ambitious goals, especially for a  woman at the end of the nineteenth century, when the few  female journalists were relegated to writing columns about  cleaning or fashion. But fresh off a train from Pittsburgh,  Nellie knew she was destined for more and pulled a major  journalistic stunt that skyrocketed her to fame: feigning  insanity, being committed to the notorious asylum on  Blackwell's Island, and writing a shocking exposé of the  clinic's horrific treatment of its patients. Nellie Bly  became a household name as the world followed her  enthralling career in "stunt" journalism that raised  awareness of political corruption, poverty, and abuses of  human rights. Leading an uncommonly full life, Nellie  circled the globe in a record seventy-two days and brought  home a pet monkey before marrying an aged millionaire and  running his company after his death.},
