In "The Mystery of Central Park," Nellie Bly delves into the hidden stories and enigmatic elements that populate one of New York Citys most iconic landscapes. Through her pioneering journalistic style, Bly employs immersive narrative techniques and vivid imagery to transport readers into the heart of Central Park, revealing its historical layers and the diverse tapestry of lives interwoven within it. Set against the backdrop of a changing America in the late 19th century, BlyAos work not only chronicles the parks evolution but also serves as a critique of urban society and its often overlooked complexities. Nellie Bly, known for her groundbreaking investigative journalism, was driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire to expose social injustices. Her previous work in mental health and womens rights paved the way for her explorations in "The Mystery of Central Park," reflecting her commitment to unveiling the truths that reside beneath the surface. BlyAos unique perspective as a female journalist challenged societal norms, allowing her to present stories from angles often neglected by her male contemporaries. I highly recommend "The Mystery of Central Park" to readers interested in urban history, social commentary, and the roots of modern journalism. Blys engaging prose invites you to reconsider the familiar landscape of Central Park, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the deeper narratives behind iconic places.

Un documento excepcional de la pionera del periodismo encubierto. Nellie Bly recibe, por parte del periódico donde trabajo, el "New York World" de J. Pulitzer, el encargo de escribir acerca de cómo es la vida dentro de una institución de enfermos mentales. Ingresa en un manicomio haciéndose pasar por demente. Engaña a los médicos y experimenta las duras condiciones del psiquiátrico. Una vez en su papel, cuando quiso abandonar el lugar no consiguió convencer a nadie.

Elizabeth Jane Cochrane (wrote as Nellie Bly) (1864- 1922) was an American journalist, author, industrialist, and charity worker. She is most famous for an undercover expos in which she faked insanity to study a mental institution from within. She is also well-known for her record-breaking trip around the world. Bly focused her early work for the Dispatch on the plight of working women, writing a series of investigative articles on female factory workers. She travelled to Mexico to serve as a foreign correspondent. In 1888, Nellie suggested to her editor at the New York World that she take a trip around the world, mimicking Jules Verne''s book Around the World in Eighty Days. In 1894 she retired from journalism, and became the president of the Iron Clad Manufacturing Co. For a time she was one of the leading women industrialists in the United States, but mismanagement forced her into bankruptcy. Forced back into reporting, she covered such events as women''s suffrage convention in 1913. Her works include: Ten Days in a Mad House (1887) and Around the World in Seventy-Two Days (1890).

Around the World in Seventy-Two Days is a book by Elizabeth Jane Cochrane. The narrative describes her long trip around the world, which was inspired by Jules Verne. She carried out the voyage for Joseph Pulitzers tabloid newspaper, the New York World.

Diez días en un manicomio es una obra pionera del periodismo de investigación escrita por Nellie Bly en 1887. En este ensayo, Bly narra su experiencia al infiltrarse en el manicomio de mujeres de Blackwells Island, en Nueva York, con el objetivo de exponer las condiciones y los abusos que sufrian las internas. La publicacion de su reportaje en el periodico New York World tuvo un gran impacto, lo que llevo a una investigacion por parte del Gran Jurado del condado de Nueva York y, posteriormente, a la implementacion de reformas significativas en las instituciones psiquiatricas y al incremento del presupuesto destinado a su supervision y mejora.

Nacida como Elizabeth Jane Cochran, Nellie Bly fue una de las primeras y mejores periodistas de Estados Unidos. Se convirtió en un fenómeno nacional a fines del siglo XIX, con un juego de mesa basado en sus aventuras y merchandising inspirado en la ropa que usaba. Salto a la fama por ser la primera reportera en terreno y por escribir articulos que en aquel momento nadie creia que una mujer podia o debia escribir, como el reportaje donde denuncio el tratamiento que recibian las pacientes de un manicomio para mujeres y el diario de viaje sobre como batio el record de la vuelta al mundo sin acompañante.Este volumen, la unica recopilacion impresa y editada de los escritos de Bly, incluye sus obras mas conocidas: Diez dias en un manicomio, Seis meses en Mexico y La vuelta al mundo en setenta y dos dias, asi como muchas piezas menos conocidas que captan la amplitud de su carrera, desde sus feroces articulos de opinion hasta su notable reportaje de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

This is an account of Nellie Blys travels through Mexico in 1885. The book was originally a series of individual articles that she submitted to the Pittsburgh Dispatch newspaper for publication. In them she described the conditions of the people and the political system she found in Mexico. Her narratives focused mostly on the impoverished and disadvantaged in a country whose government was extremely corrupt. Bly was perhaps what we now term a feminist, striving for the empowerment and independence of women. She certainly pioneered the field of investigative reporting. Nevertheless, Blys journalistic objectivity is often tainted by an uninformed, 19th-century, "gringo" world view. Blys travels in Mexico ended abruptly after the Dispatch published an article she wrote exposing that governments ill treatment of another journalist who criticized the regime of President Porfirio Diaz. Blys Mexico articles were later published in book form in 1888.

It was initially published as a series of articles for the New York World. Bly later compiled the articles into a book, which was published by Ian L. Munro in New York City in 1887.[1][2] The book comprised Blys reportage for the New York World while on an undercover assignment in which she feigned insanity at a womens boarding house, so as to be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. She then investigated the reports of brutality and neglect at the Womens Lunatic Asylum on Blackwells Island.

Apenas 16 anos depois da publicação de A volta ao mundo em 80 dias, a primeira pessoa a quebrar o recorde imaginado por Júlio Verne foi uma "garota": a jornalista audaz Nellie Bly, que — aos 24 anos,

Uma garota foi declarada louca e trancaada no manicomio e esse era seu plano o tempo todo. A garota era Nellie Bly, destemida reporter que queria investigar como as pacientes eram tratadas e acabou denunciando a tortura e o abandono nao so das doentes mentais, como o de muitas mulheres sas, que a sociedade tachava como "indesejaveis". Foi a primeira reportagem da jornalista que quando se dizia que redacoes "nao eram lugar para mulher" foi aonde quis (deu ate a volta ao mundo em 72 dias!), fez historia e detonou preconceitos.

Con solo 23 años, la reportera Nellie Bly fingió locura para poder ser internada en el manicomio de la isla de Blackwell y poder exponer los abusos a los que eran sometidas las internas. El reportaje y los articulos publicados por Bly despues de su encierro sacaron a la luz las vejaciones fisicas y psicologicas que sufrian las pacientes de la institucion mental. Muchas de las internas no padecian ningun trastorno sino que eran inmigrantes y mujeres sin recursos que carecian de apoyo social, pero el trato y las rutinas a las que eran sometidas diariamente eran suficientes para que las personas sanas perdieran la cordura.
