FROM THE AUTHOR:
Nellie Bly’s story has been told before: the story of an insane asylum, of a madwoman, of screaming girls in white nightgowns with long, ratted hair. You’ve heard her story before in dozens of exaggerations, dilutions, and dramatizations, and yet I’m guessing very few people know or remember her name. And even fewer know the names of Anne Neville, Tillie Mayard, and the hundreds of women who were locked away without a say. Nellie was limited from Day 1 because of her social status and gender. When in the asylum, she was quite literally quarantined in a circumstance she was uncertain if she could ever escape. Her situation made her susceptible to a disease running rampant- insanity.
