Synopsis
Intrepid journalist Nellie Bly raced alone to beat Jules Verne's fictional record in Around the World in 80 Days, winning in 72 days and becoming a global celebrity while pioneering investigative journalism and challenging oppression.
Intrepid journalist Nellie Bly raced through a 'man's world' -- alone and literally with just the clothes on her back -- to beat the fictional record set by Jules Verne's Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days. She won the race on 25 January 1890, covering 21,740 miles by ocean liner and train in 72 days, and became a global celebrity. Although best known for her record-breaking journey, even more importantly Nellie Bly pioneered investigative journalism and paved the way for women in the newsroom. Her undercover reporting, advocacy for women's rights, crusades for vulnerable children, campaigns against oppression and steadfast conviction that 'nothing is impossible' makes the world that she circled a better place.
Adventurer, journalist and author, Rosemary J Brown, set off 125 years later to retrace Nellie Bly's footsteps in an expedition registered with the Royal Geographical Society. Through her recreation of that epic global journey, she brings to life Nellie Bly's remarkable achievements and shines a light on one of the world's greatest female adventurers and a forgotten heroine of history.
