We’re back with Part 2 of our Nellie Bly series!
Last week, we shared how Nellie went undercover in an asylum to expose the abuse and neglect happening behind closed doors. Her reporting shocked the nation and sparked real reform.
This week, we follow her next bold chapter - the story of how she circumnavigated the globe. In 1889, Nellie set off on a solo journey to beat Jules Verne’s fictional Around the World in 80 Days. With just a single satchel, she crossed oceans, continents, and countless cultural boundaries and ended up making history.
