In 1889, Nellie Bly, a journalist for the New York World, set out to beat Jules Verne's Phileas Fogg's record and travel around the world in less than 80 days. Armed with only a handbag, Bly embarked on a journey that would take her across continents and cultures, demonstrating audacity and determination. This account of her expedition not only narrates her incredible adventure, but also celebrates the emancipation of women in an era of great change.
Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, better known by her pen name Nellie Bly, was an American journalist who was widely known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days in emulation of Jules Verne's fictional character Phileas Fogg, and for an exposé in which she worked undercover to report on a mental institution from within. She ushered in the era of stunt girl reporting and helped advance a new kind of immersion journalism.
