Synopsis

“I said I could and I would. And I did.”

10 Days in a Mad-House by Nellie Bly is a groundbreaking exposé that shocked the world. Investigative journalist Nellie Bly went undercover to reveal the brutal and inhumane conditions of the Women's Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island in 1887. Her courageous account not only changed the face of journalism but also spurred significant mental health reforms. This gripping narrative is a must-read for anyone interested in history, social justice, and the impact of fearless reporting.

Sneak peek
“But here let me say one thing: From the moment I entered the insane ward on the Island, I made no attempt to keep up the assumed role of insanity. I talked and acted just as I do in ordinary life. Yet strange to say, the more sanely I talked and acted the crazier I was thought to be by all except one physician, whose kindness and gentle ways I shall not soon forget.”
