Summary

Journalist and activist Nellie Bly wrote one of the first pieces of investigative journalism about injustices in mental institutions by pretending to be insane and infiltrating the system from within. She also broke records by traveling around the world in 72 days. Who is this YAS Queen Girl Boss, and what were mental asylums in the 1800s and 1900s really like?

ALSO: In the 19th century, women could be put in a lunatic asylum for jealousy, grief, or melancholia.
