Nellie Bly was a pioneering American journalist who lived by the belief that \"Energy rightly applied and directed will accomplish anything.\" This credo took her from humble origins in Cochran's Mill, Pennsylvania, a town named after her father, to the most exotic cities around the globe by the time she was 25. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNellie Bly was born Elizabeth Jane Cochran in 1864, in an age when many women led unassuming lives. Her life would make people sit up and take notice: When she wasn't making history herself, she was writing about others who did. Rarely has anyone left a more detailed record of her place in the world than Nellie Bly. In a very public life, she shared her feelings and opinions through her writing and embraced the struggles of all classes of Americans who were fighting for their rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story of the two decades before and after the turn of the 20th century was her story, and she wrote with a powerful pen. Her \"stunt journalism\" included getting herself committed to an insane asylum for women and circling the globe in a mere 72 days. She profiled leaders from Susan B. Anthony to Eugene V. Debs, exposed corruption, and offered her readers a travelogue that expanded their horizons, even as it made the world a little smaller. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer words live on even now, and Sue Macy's masterful biography invites young readers into Nellie Bly's America, a country at a time of great growth and social change.","brand":"National Geographic Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45082734100631,"sku":"9781426305139","price":1120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781426305139.webp?v=1767635071","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bylines-a-photobiography-of-nellie-bly-9781426305139","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
