Studies about brutality and neglect at the Women's Lunatic Asylum of the Blackwell's Island
Description of book
Nellie Bly (May 5, 1864 - January 27, 1922) was a pioneer woman in journalism. She remains notable for two feats: a record-breaking trip around the world in emulation of Jules Verne, and an exposé in which she faked insanity to study a mental institution from within.
