Nellie Bly was one of the rare female journalists in the 19th century. Not content to write quiet, serene articles, she focused on sensational stories that would alert her readers to wonders, delights and problems in the world. She investigated a number of areas, one being the insane asylums of the time. Posing as a troubled young woman, she got herself admitted to an asylum and lived there for 10 days. Listen as Bly, portrayed by Jennifer Rounds, tells her story.
