A visual biography of the groundbreaking investigative journalist Born in 1864, Nellie Bly was a woman who did not allow herself to be defined by the time she lived in, she rewrote the narrative and made her own way. Luciana Cimino's meticulously researched graphic-novel biography tells Bly's story through Miriam, a fictionalized female student at the Columbia School of Journalism in 1921. While interviewing the famous journalist, Miriam learns not only about Bly's more sensational adventures, but also about her focus on self-reliance from an early age, the scathing letter to the editor that jump-started her career as a newspaper columnist, and her dedication to the empowerment of women. In fact, in 1884, Bly was one of the few journalists who interviewed Belva Ann Lockwood, who was the first woman candidate for a presidential election-a contest that was ultimately won by Grover Cleveland-and Bly predicted correctly that women would not get the vote until 1920. Of course Bly's most well-known exploits are also covered-how she pretended to be mad in order to get institutionalized so she could carry out an undercover investigation in an insane asylum, and Bly's greatest feat of all, her journey around the world in 72 days-alone-which was unthinkable for a woman in the late 19th century. As Miriam learns more of Bly's story, she realizes that the most important stories are necessarily the ones with the most dramatic headlines, but the ones that, in Nellie's words, "come from a deep feeling." This beautifully executed graphic novel paints a portrait of a woman who defied societal expectations-not only with her investigative journalism, but with her keen mind for industry, and her original inventions. Luciana Cimino is a professional journalist. She worked for 10 years at the historical Italian newspaper L'Unità, where she wrote about politics and news about social issues, poverty, immigrants, and school policies. Since 2015 she's been part of the press staff of the journalism festival Festival di giornalismo Internazionale. Sergio Algozzino is an Italian comics creator.

I’ve always been fascinated by the groundbreaking journalist Nellie Bly and this graphic novel was a fun way to learn more about her life. Her impact on the field of journalism and women’s role in it is incalculable. She was brave, brilliant, and a role model for aspiring writers.
“I was convinced, and still am, but if, for some travels for pure pleasure, and not too impressed, they are companions, the problem of luggage could be resolved.” ( )
An artistic biography of Nellie Bly. I didn't know much about her life and accomplishments, so this was a helpful introduction. The narrative and illustrations are clever and thoughtful. ( )
I like graphic novel biographies and I have wanted to know more about Nellie Bly. This story touches on all the major points while opening a door to discover more about her. I enjoyed it. ( )
A pedestrian but serviceable introduction to the life of Nellie Bly. Too many pages are given over to a fictional character who interviews Bly near the end of her life in the 1920s and reflects on Bly's legacy near the end of her own life in the 1990s. ( )
