EP 95: Nellie Bly

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing an incredible and very well-known woman in History, Nellie Bly. Born Elizabeth Jane Cochran, Bly was an American investigative journalist most well-known for breaking the record when she traveled the world in just 72 days! AND also most well-known for that time she went undercover as a mental patient in order to expose the realities of New York’s insane asylums. And she did all of this in the late-1800s; at a time when women still didn’t have the right to vote, at a time when women weren’t allowed to go places or do things without a male escort, at a time when it was quite literally AGAINST THE LAW in some parts of the country for women to wear pants! Bly would go on to not only change History for women but to change the course of investigative journalism forever.
