Great story! Two other good books about insane asylum abuses are The Girl Behind the Gates, HF by Brenda Davies, and The Woman Who Would Not Be Silenced, NF by Kate Moore. Nellie Bly has been one of my favorite heroines for quite a while. The main characters in Three Words for Goodbye, HF by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb, were inspired by their mother and "Aunt" Nellie Bly.
I've always loved Nellie Bly's story, so thank you for this.
Have you ever seen Drunk History's take on her story? Laura Dern played Nellie....
No but my stepdaughter was just telling me about it
Wow, such an amazing story! Thank you Kerry, for continuing to share these wonderful women.
"If more women step out of line and pushed against popular opinion, imagine what we could do?" YES!
