Ten Days in a Madhouse by Nellie Bly
The insane asylum on Blackwell's Island is a human rat-trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out. Twenty-three-year-old journalist Nellie Bly, describing New York City's most notorious mental institution, wrote those words in 1887 after getting herself committed to the asylum. After her release she wrote a shocking expos called Ten Days in a Madhouse, launching her career as a world-famous investigative reporter and helping to improve conditions at mental institutions across the United States. Her story is just as remarkable today as it was shen she wrote it. Soon to be a major motion picture. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.Nellie Bly (1864-1922) was the pen name of Elizabeth Jane Cochran, a pioneering American investigative journalist whose works include Ten Days in a Madhouse and Around the World in Seventy-Two Days.
