Summary: |
This biography recounts the life of the woman who opened up the field of journalism to women through her undercover investigative reporting during the turn of the century through WW I. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The life of Nellie Bly, a.k.a. Elizabeth Jane Cochran, contains a wealth of topics for students to explore from investigative reporting to round-the-world travel. The events of her early life suggest predictive activities about her personality and motivations later in life. Students might want to write a character sketch about this fascinating woman. The book certainly belongs in a text set with books about women who helped break gender barriers such as Sky Pioneer about Amelia Earhart, Rosie the Riveter, and Buffalo Gals. |
