Second in our “Valiant Ladies” series is Elizabeth Jane Cochrane Seaman, under the pen name Nellie Bly.

Elizabeth Cochran (later adding an “e”) A.K.A. Nellie Bly helped to define what would become known as “stunt reporting”. After getting herself committed in 1887 and exposing the terrible conditions for the mentally ill on what’s now Roosevelt Island, her reporting (collected in “Ten Days in a Madhouse”) prompted grand jury investigations and spurred needed improvements in patient care. She came to the moniker “Nellie Bly” in an unusual way – her first editor at the Pittsburgh Dispatch took it from the upbeat Stephen Foster minstrel song “Nelly Bly” but misspelled it as “Nellie” and it stuck.

Nellie Bly revealed bribery in the U.S. legislature lobbying system, exposed conditions for the poor in Mexico and their corrupt leadership, and circled the globe in less than eighty days, cementing her fame. One of the first women to cover World War I from the front lines, the name Nellie Bly has become a synonym for a star female reporter.
