Ten Days in a Mad-House by Nellie Bly

4.0

Maybe this just wasn’t as gritty as I started out thinking it would be. Or maybe just not compared to modern times. But, it is definitely worth a read for the sake of feminism, modern mental health care, and as a study of early investigative journalism. It’s a solid piece of Work by the famous Nellie Bly who was on the forefront of making change in her time, risking her health, life and freedom to report on the evils of the world. Don’t get me wrong... she definitely did something well here. It’s just not as juicy for entertainment purposes.
