More about the book

Set in 1900, the story follows Leonel Ross Campbell, the pioneering female reporter known as Polly Pry, who made waves at the Denver Post. Her bold actions included advocating for a convicted cannibal's release and confronting the influential Telluride miners' union, putting her life at risk on multiple occasions. A younger colleague's remark highlights her impact: Polly Pry didn't just report the news; she actively shaped it, showcasing her trailblazing spirit in a male-dominated field.
