Aprašymas
From the pioneering journalist, Nellie Bly, comes the eye-opening true account of her experiences in a mental asylum. In the late 1800s, Bly went undercover to shed light on the real and horrific conditions of Victorian mental institutions.
Published in 1887, Ten Days in a Mad-House was written by newspaper columnist, Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, under her pen name, Nellie Bly. After feigning insanity to get inside, Bly details the institution's awful conditions first-hand, revealing the inhumane treatments, the abuse of power and the insanitary environment she finds herself in. This true account demonstrates the unnerving ease with which a sane woman is admitted to the hospital, and the struggle she faces to escape. The publication of Ten Days in a Mad-House led to an entirely new journalistic approach and launched the stunt girl reporting era.
The chapters in this compelling volume include:
- - A Delicate Mission
- - Pronounced Insane
- - Inside the Mad-House
- - Promenading with Lunatics
- - Incidents of Asylum Life
- - The Grand Jury Investigation
Breathing new life into this fantastic journalistic expose, Ten Days in a Mad-House has been republished by Read & Co. Books including a biography of the author by Frances E. Willard and Mary A. Livermore. A great gift for fans of Nellie Bly's work and a must-read for those who wish to immerse themselves in the real-life horror of 1800s asylums.
