Nellie Bly

Journalist, travel writer, anthropologist, entrepreneur . . . a pioneer who decided not to be defined by what she couldn’t do but by what she could.

Nellie Bly was born in the 19th century but she is a 21st century woman. An investigative journalist before the job existed, a travel writer before people knew what to write about, an anthropologist before people wanted to understand different cultures – and an entrepreneur at the dawn of a new age. You really want to hear about Nellie . . . you really need to.

Join Oswin and Carla as we delve into Nellie’s life and hear from Rosemary Brown, a historian who followed Nellie on her greatest adventure: to beat Jules Verne at his own game and travel around the world in under 80 days.
