E282: Nellie Bly (part IV)

E282: Nellie Bly (part IV)

In the final part of our Nellie Bly series, we follow her through yet another reinvention ...as wife to industrialist Robert Seaman and, after his death, one of the first female CEOs in the U.S. We look at her lesser-known interviews with a ten-year-old Helen Keller and the terrifying Lizzie Halliday, and how she returned to journalism under William Randolph Hearst after her business collapsed under fraud and bankruptcy. She exposed corruption in the adoption system, was one of the first female war correspondents during the Great War, fought for women’s legal rights, and quietly placed abandoned children with families from a room at the Hotel McAlpin.
