Great piece of investigative reporting; Shows Bly to be a gutsy, brave, kind, and clever young woman. Bly writes with brutal honesty about life in the asylum and her experiences there, and she sugar-coats nothing. Her writing is full of wit and talent, and also of compassion for the patients. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in journalism or reporting, and anyone interested in Nellie Bly
