Absolutely fantastic...superb in its entirety --Maria Popova, Brain Pickings A classic from one of the first prominent female journalists in America. --Kathryn Schulz, New York Magazine Splendid...The only thing unbelievable about Nellie Bly is that it's taken this long for her work to be recognized--and with a life story this rich, where is the biopic? Thanks to this new collection at least, Bly's life work will be accessible for a whole new world of readers. -- The Daily Beast From the start, Bly is a natural writer. Her voice is caustic and confident, lilting effortlessly between the gush and private wonder of a schoolgirl's diary and the rigor of the most celebrated political reporters of her time. -- The New Inquiry If you've never read any of 19th-century journalist Nellie Bly's work, this is the place to start. And if you're a longtime fan of the first 'girl stunt reporter, ' this is definitely a tome worth adding to your library.... [Bly] made indelible observations about a woman's place in the world that are no less valuable today than they were 150 years ago. -- Bust Magazine The editing is outstanding, providing the backstory for this important but all too often neglected figure in American journalism. -- Huntington News
