Описание: Nellie Bly was the pen name of Elizabeth Cochran Seaman (1864-1922), an American journalist who was widely known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days and for her undercover work to report on a mental institution from within. A pioneer in her field, she launched a new kind of investigative journalism, and was also a writer, inventor and industrialist. She entered on her career in journalism when a letter she wrote to the Pittsburgh Dispatch caught the editor's eye and he soon offered her a regular column to be written under the name of Nellie Bly. Her early work included a series of investigative articles on women factory workers but when the paper received complaints from factory owners she was reassigned to the women's pages to cover topics like fashion and society with which she soon became disenchanted. In 1885, aged only 21, she travelled to Mexico to serve as foreign correspondent, spending half a year reporting on the lives and customs of the people, and her dispatches were later published in book form as Six Months in Mexico (1888). In 1887 she left the Pittsburgh Dispatch and headed for New York where she took on an undercover assignment for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, agreeing to feign insanity in order to gain entry into the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island and investigate reports of brutality and neglect. The results of her investigation first appeared as a series of articles which later the same year were published in book form bringing her critical acclaim and also leading to a grand jury investigation which brought about an increase in budget for the Dept of Public Charities and Corrections.

The musical tells the story of Nellie Bly, America's first female journalist. In a profession dominated by men, in the late-19thncentury, Nellie was determined not only to join the profession but to become one of its brightest lights.
To get herself noticed, Nellie undertook a series of daring and outrageous stunts, including committing herself to New York's infamous insane asylum on Blackwell's Island. The subsequent articles and book she wrote about her experiences forced the authorities to radically reform the asylum system.
In 1889 Nellie undertook her most famous and seemingly impossible stunt - a solo journey around the world to try to beat the eighty days taken in Jules Verne's famous novel. After many exotic adventures she returned triumphant to New York in just seventy-two days.
By turns comic and tragic this is the story of a woman who opened a door previously closed to all women: the story of a brave pioneer who sacrificed love and happiness to achieve her ambition.

Автор: Cimino Luciana Название: The Incredible Nellie Bly: Journalist, Investigator, Feminist, and Philanthropist ISBN: 1419750178 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781419750175 Издательство: Abrams Рейтинг: Цена: 17810.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: A visual biography of the groundbreaking investigative journalist Born in 1864, Nellie Bly was a woman who did not allow herself to be defined by the time she lived in, she rewrote the narrative and made her own way. Luciana Cimino's meticulously researched graphic-novel biography tells Bly's story through Miriam, a fictionalized female student at the Columbia School of Journalism in 1921. While interviewing the famous journalist, Miriam learns not only about Bly's more sensational adventures, but also about her focus on self-reliance from an early age, the scathing letter to the editor that jump-started her career as a newspaper columnist, and her dedication to the empowerment of women. In fact, in 1884, Bly was one of the few journalists who interviewed Belva Ann Lockwood, who was the first woman candidate for a presidential election--a contest that was ultimately won by Grover Cleveland--and Bly predicted correctly that women would not get the vote until 1920. Of course Bly's most well-known exploits are also covered--how she pretended to be mad in order to get institutionalized so she could carry out an undercover investigation in an insane asylum, and Bly's greatest feat of all, her journey around the world in 72 days--alone--which was unthinkable for a woman in the late 19th century. As Miriam learns more of Bly's story, she realizes that the most important stories are necessarily the ones with the most dramatic headlines, but the ones that, in Nellie's words, "come from a deep feeling." This beautifully executed graphic novel paints a portrait of a woman who defied societal expectations--not only with her investigative journalism, but with her keen mind for industry, and her original inventions.
