More about the book
A gripping firsthand account reveals the harrowing conditions of Blackwell's Island insane asylum, where journalist Nellie Bly voluntarily committed herself in 1887. Her ten-day ordeal exposed the inhumane treatment of patients and sparked reform in mental health institutions across the U.S. Bly's courageous investigation not only launched her career as a pioneering investigative reporter but also highlighted the urgent need for change in mental health care. This powerful narrative remains relevant today and is set to be adapted into a major motion picture.
