Just say: 'Excuse me, Nellie Bly, ' and shin down the fire-escape.-\u003ci\u003ePuck Magazine\u003c\/i\u003ePioneering journalist Nellie Bly is best remembered for two stunts her undercover expose of the Blackwell's Island insane asylum, and her race around the world to beat the record set in Jules Verne's \u003ci\u003eAround The World In 80 Days.\u003c\/i\u003e Yet those events do not begin to grasp the scope of her career as a reporter. Between 1885 and 1922, Nellie Bly penned hundreds of stories on a variety of topics. Reporting for Joseph Pulitzer's \u003ci\u003eNew York World, \u003c\/i\u003e she interviewed presidential candidates like Belva Lockwood and convicted criminals like Eva Hamilton, sports heroes like boxer John Sullivan and wrestler William Muldoon, inspirational icons like Helen Keller and Susan B. Anthony, and so many more. One week would find her undercover to expose a swindling lobbyist, the next taking up a new profession as an actress, and the next reporting on a strike. Perhaps never before has a reporter had such a wide-ranging, adventurous career  Yet until now only a handful of her articles have been available to the public.
