Nellie Bly (May 5, 1864 – January 27, 1922) was the pen name of pioneer woman journalist Elizabeth Jane Cochran. She remains notable for two feats: a record-breaking trip around the world in emulation of Jules Verne, and an exposé in which she faked insanity to study a mental institution from within. In addition to her writing, she was also an industrialist and charity worker. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Nellie+Bly">Read more on Last.fm</a>
