Nellie Bly Reporting:
Elizabeth Cochrane got a job at The World after interviewing New York editors about being a female report in the city. As "Nellie Bly," the most famous of the era's "stunt girls," she dazzled readers with exploits such as circling the globe in 72 days. She also was a pioneer of undercover reporting. In one case she posed as a patient to expose deplorable conditions at an insane asylum. Bly used this satchel during her around-the-world trek in 1889-90. The trip inspired this board game. |
