Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman in 1864, was an American journalist, writer, and adventurer. She gained fame for her daring investigative reporting and advocacy for social issues, particularly women's rights. In 1887, she made headlines with her exposé on the deplorable conditions at the Women's Lunatic Asylum on New York's Blackwell's Island, where she went undercover as a patient. Her work prompted significant reforms in mental health care.

Bly was also known for her record-breaking trip around the world inspired by Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in Eighty Days." In 1889, she embarked on the journey, completing it in just 72 days, surpassing the fictional time frame. Her travelogue, "Around the World in Seventy-Two Days," brought her international acclaim and further solidified her reputation as a trailblazing journalist.
