Nellie Bly
O Autorze
Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Cochran, was a pioneering American journalist known for her unconventional and bold investigative reporting. She gained fame in the late 19th century for her groundbreaking exposé on the conditions of mental asylums, particularly through her work titled 'Ten Days in a Mad-House.' In this piece, she feigned insanity to gain admission to the Blackwell's Island Asylum, where she uncovered the inhumane treatment of patients, shocking the public and prompting reforms in mental health care.
