Podcasts about Nellie Bly

Conceived as the most modern, humane incarceration facility the world had ever seen, New York's Blackwell's Island, site of a lunatic asylum, two prisons, an almshouse, and a number of hospitals, quickly became, in the words of a visiting Charles Dickens, "a lounging, listless madhouse." Digging through city records, newspaper articles, and archival reports, Stacy Horn tells a gripping narrative through the voices of the island's inhabitants. We also hear from the era's officials, reformers, and journalists, including the celebrated undercover reporter Nellie Bly. And we follow the extraordinary Reverend William Glenney French as he ministers to Blackwell's residents, battles the bureaucratic mazes of the Department of Correction and a corrupt City Hall, testifies at salacious trials, and in his diary wonders about man's inhumanity to his fellow man. Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad and Criminal in 19th Century New York (Algonquin Books, 2019) shows how far we've come in caring for the least fortunate among us--and reminds us how much work still remains. Stacy Horn shows that in setting up institutions for the humane treatment of social outcasts, New York City was so quickly overwhelmed by the sheer numbers confined to the Insane Asylum, Workhouse, Almshouse, Penitentiary and Hospital, that what emerged was a veritable gulag on Blackwell's (now Roosevelt) Island. Based on a careful reading of both remarkably candid official documents detailing widespread suffering and accounts by the intrepid undercover reporter Nellie Bly and the socially prominent Josephine Shaw Lowell, we come to appreciate the long shadow of history cast over the city's remaining island of the damned—Rikers.

Tonight, author Stacy Horn returns to take us deep inside one of the most chilling institutions in American history—Blackwell's Island. Once hailed as a visionary experiment in humane care, it quickly devolved into a hellscape of madness, misery, and corruption.In her haunting book Damnation Island: Poor, Sick, Mad and Criminal in 19th Century New York, Horn exposes the nightmarish reality behind the asylum walls—where the sick were abandoned, the poor punished, and the so-called insane subjected to unspeakable horrors. With voices lifted from long-buried archives, she brings to life the forgotten souls who endured it, and the few who dared to speak out, including the fearless Nellie Bly and a tormented reverend caught between compassion and chaos.This is not just a history—it's a descent into the shadows of a society that chose to look away.Unlock a world of mystery!Join our exclusive community and instantly access over 1,000 ad-free episodes, mind-blowing bonus segments, and much more.

A pochi metri dalle strade affollatissime di Manhattan, galleggia nel mezzo dell'East River un'isola che racconta storie dimenticate di New York.Roosevelt Island, un tempo luogo di esilio per malati e carcerati, oggi è un affascinante mix di rovine gotiche, architettura moderna e viste mozzafiato sulla città. In questo episodio vi porto alla scoperta di questa striscia di terra lunga appena 3 chilometri, raggiungibile con la funivia urbana più famosa d'America.Esploreremo le suggestive rovine dell'ospedale per il vaiolo, l'ex manicomio dove fu internata la giornalista Nellie Bly, il recente campus tecnologico della Cornell University e il memoriale progettato da Louis Kahn. Dalla sua storia oscura come "isola della sofferenza" alla sua rinascita come moderna comunità residenziale, Roosevelt Island rappresenta uno dei luoghi più insoliti e sorprendenti di New York. Vi svelerò tutti i segreti di questo angolo dimenticato della Grande Mela e vi darò consigli pratici per visitarlo come locals.Leggi la guida su viagginewyork.itQuesto è l'hotel che si trova in Roosevelt Island.

Nellie Bly was a true trailblazer. In late 19th century America, women were expected to get married and become housewives, or go into a suitable career like teaching. But Nellie didn’t do any of that. Instead, she changed journalism forever, becoming one of the world’s first female investigative journalists, and paving the way for a generation of incredible ‘Girl Stunt Reporters’. And Nellie’s first investigation was probably her most dangerous: In 1887, she deliberately got herself committed to the most notorious insane asylum in New York, to expose the abuse of women inside its walls. She was drugged, half starved and manipulated by doctors as the screams of other patients echoed around the corridors… Researcher and author Kim Todd tells us Nellie’s story. Kim’s book about Nellie and the journalists she inspired is called Sensational: The Hidden History of America’s ‘Girl Stunt Reporters’. We want YOUR stories for our Girlfriends hotline! Did your bestie ever bail you out of an awful date with a fake emergency phone call? Or show up on your doorstep with three weeks’ worth of lasagne when you’d just had a baby?

Journalist Kerrie Davies with the story of how novelist Miles Franklin went undercover as a maid for a year, in Sydney and Melbourne's wealthy houses, well before gonzo journalists became household names.The real-life story of novelist Stella Maria Miles Franklin had an unexpected chapter after publishing My Brilliant Career.In 1903, Miles became a 'girl stunt reporter' by going undercover as a servant.For a year, she lived as a maid in Sydney and Melbourne's wealthy houses and wrote about the humiliations and drudgery in the daily lives of servant girls, or 'slaveys'.During her experiment she hand-rolled heavy, wet clothes through a washing mangle; served her employers pre-breakfast tea and toast in bed, which she thought was an obscene indulgence; she cleaned guest rooms and parlours; helped at high-society balls and kept fires burning in winter.The manuscript Miles wrote about this year pre-dated George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London by three decades, yet it never found a publisher.Journalist Kerrie Davies has investigated this little-known chapter of Miles' life, finally bringing this story to life in her own book.This episode of Conversations explores feminism, suffragettes, biography, books, servants, writing, Australian fiction, boy sober, class warfare, adventures, adventurous women, risk-taking, origin stories, gonzo journalism, Nellie Bly, Rose Scott, early 20th century Sydney, Chicago, women's rights, trad wives, motherhood, partnership, self-partnering.Miles Franklin Undercover is published by Allen and Unwin.

In episode 96, the sisters jump into some women's history beginning with the amazing and long history of Black midwifery in America. In early America, enslaved Black midwives (as well as Indigenous women) were responsible for birthing nearly all children in the United States. Today, Black midwives only make up between 5 to 9% of the profession while Black women are three to four times likely to die from a pregnancy related cause than white women (National Institutes of Health).In part two, Laurel chats about the amazing Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Cochrane, who launched a new kind of investigative journalism. From checking into a women's asylum in order to expose its mistreatment of patients to traveling around the world to coming out of retirement to cover the horrors of World War I in Europe, Nellie lived one hell of a life...~~~~~~~*Mentioned in the Stories:Black Midwifery Collective~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠  TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube-- ⁠@High Tales of History⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~*~Source Materials--Black Midwives--https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/historical-significance-doulas-and-midwives#:~:text=Early%20African%20American%20midwives%20were,babies%20became%20a%20medical%20specialty.&text=The%20uniform%20dress%20worn%20by%20midwife%20Amanda%20Carey%20Carterhttps://nursing.virginia.edu/news/bhm-black-midwives/#:~:text=Health%20departments%20established%20midwifery%20classes,%5Bis%5D%20so%20white.%E2%80%9Dhttps://wclp.org/black-midwifery-in-the-us/#:~:text=In%20rural%20America%2C%20however%2C%20Black,of%20births%20until%20the%201940'shttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DF8K751pz6k/?igsh=ODdmdzN3eXZpZHJ3Nellie Bly--https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/nellie-bly-0https://www.britannica.com/biography/Nellie-Blyhttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/world-nellie-and-other-19th-century-writers/https://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2022/11/nellie-bly-blackwells-island/https://time.com/6074783/psychiatry-history-women-mental-health/⁠~~~~*Intro/outro music: "Loopster" by Kevin MacLeod (⁠incompetech.com⁠) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License ⁠⁠⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Pennsylvania has graced the world with an inordinate number of influential women throughout its history but looking with a sharper lens at four women in particular highlights not just their achievements, but also key trends in the U.S. and Pennsylvania in the 1800’s. Dr. Christine Senecal, Medieval Historian, shared some of the most important women from Pennsylvania whose lives made a positive impact on the world today. Mary Cassatt was the only American to exhibit alongside the French Impressionists in France. Cassatt’s artwork was very radical for her time, that is still celebrated to this day. “So, she did many pictures and paintings of women with children, and while that had been a pretty common scene in art, like Renoir did a lot of that, he was an imperious artist, she tended to focus on women, the labor that women did in care taking. So, if you look at a Renoir and you look at, um, like the women with the children, they're both smiling, sort of smiling for the camera, so to speak. Mary Cassatt's women are like tending to the children. And there's a lot of love and affection in her paintings, but also it shows women working. Moreover, there's pictures of women, many women, looking intently at things.” Nellie Bly was an investigative journalist who was known for her undercover reporting on a mental asylum, her trip around the world, and her advocacy for women’s rights. “She would throw herself into some news, a kind of important journalistic story. The most infamous or famous of this is a piece she wrote called Ten Days in the Madhouse. Off of the coast of New York, Manhattan, there's an island, it's an island that's now called Roosevelt Island and there was a woman's lunatic asylum, and it was supposed to be really corrupt. Nellie Bly got herself into the asylum. She did it by like going overnight, like she didn't let herself sleep. And so, she looked all crazy. And she checked herself into a kind of like dormitory to get into it and acted really crazy. Once she was in, she was eventually accepted into the woman's lunatic asylum. She was, you know, able to really record the horrible abuses and broke the story.” Listen to the podcast to hear about Union Organizer Fannie Sellins, and abolitionist Sarah Mapps Douglass.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vivir una aventura no es para todos: hay que enfrentarse a los peligros, aceptar las sorpresas, animarse a cambiar. Viajar entre continentes en 1889 no era para casi nadie… especialmente para las mujeres. Entonces, donde la puerta decía “no”, la periodista estadounidense Nellie Bly leía “sí”. Atraída por la idea de superar las 80 jornadas de viaje que el personaje de Julio Verne emplea en la hazaña en la novela “La vuelta al mundo en 80 días” (1872), Bly consigue el permiso del diario y zarpa desde Nueva York. El libro en el que escribe su periplo se llama “La vuelta al mundo en 72 días” (Los lápices editora, 2018) y empieza con el capítulo “La propuesta de dar la vuelta al mundo” que les leo en este episodio. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pre producción y voz: CECILIA BONA Editó este episodio: DANY FERNÁNDEZ (@danyrap.f) para @activandoproducciones.proyecto ¡Ayudanos a crecer!

Send us a textIn the 19th century it was surprisingly easy for a woman to be consigned to the  misery of an asylum. Many in fact weren't actually mentally ill. Husband tired of his wife? A woman who bore an illegitimate child? A woman who didn't want to marry the man her parents had chosen for her? Or anyone, in short, who didn't conform to the narrow standards of society.Once a woman was incarcerated, it was almost impossible to get out of a place often described as 'death traps'.Author Louisa Treger came across the astonishing true story of investigative journalist Nellie Bly, who intentionally got herself committed to an asylum in order to write a blistering expose and lift the lid on conditions. She was 'instantly hooked and intrigued' as she told me in this fascinating conversation.Louisa also discusses her fascinating new novel, The Paris Muse, a fictionalized retelling of the disturbing love story between talented French photographer Dora Maar and Pablo Picasso. Louisa shares her motivation behind ensuring this talented woman is no longer a footnote and how she breathed life into this extraordinary love affair.Thank you to our media partner: Family History Zone – a website covering archives, history and genealogy.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Qu'est-ce que l'on peut faire lorsque l'on naît femme, aux États-Unis, dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, et qu'on a envie de vivre de sa plume ? C'est compliqué, avec les conventions sociales de l'époque. Mais Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, alias Nellie Bly, aurait sans doute répondu : "les conventions, on les emm…bête. Prenez votre courage à deux mains, devenez journaliste. Ou mieux : reporter. Ou mieux : inventez un nouveau genre de reportage qui vous rendra célèbre. Ou encore mieux : en plus de tout ça, ne vous contentez pas du sensationnalisme ! Menez des enquêtes, dénoncez les injustices, le traitement des ouvriers dans les usines, et celui des aliénés dans les asiles. Rendez justice, et surtout, n'oubliez pas de faire un tour du monde. Pas en 80 jours comme un gros naze, mais en seulement 72 !" Tout ça, Nellie Bly l'a fait : et sa vie vaut la peine d'être racontée !Bonne écoute ! Hébergé par Acast.

The episode where Sarah brings us a smorgasbord of a pretty BA woman in history: Nellie Bly. You probably know her story even if you don't know her name. She was incredibly progressive for the late 1800s and as a journalist, exposed the injustices facing women. Basically, we love Nellie, with her sophisticated extra E and all.www.thetipsyghost.comFind us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok @thetipsyghost.Email us your stories at thetipsyghost@gmail.comShow your support when you subscribe, leave a great review & give us a 5 star rating—it really helps

Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom.  Today I want to tell you about a female journalist from the mid- 19th century.Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Jane Cochran on May 5, 1864, in Cochran's Mills, Pennsylvania to Michael Cochran and Mary Jane Kennedy.  She was one of 15 children in her family, and her father was a wealthy landowner and businessman.  Bly attended boarding school for a time but had to return home due to financial difficulties after her father's death.She became one of the most influential journalists and social reformers of her time. Her career was marked by daring investigative reporting and a fierce commitment to exposing social injustices.Early in her career, Nellie adopted the pen name "Nellie Bly" after a popular Stephen Foster song. Her journalism journey began in 1885 when she wrote a fiery letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Dispatch in response to an article titled "What Girls Are Good For." Resources: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106/nellie-blyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Blyhttps://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/nellie-bly-0https://www.britannica.com/biography/Nellie-Blyhttps://blogs.loc.gov/headlinesandheroes/2022/11/nellie-bly-blackwells-island/https://www.womenofthehall.org/inductee/elizabeth-jane-cochran/All the things: Music: "Electronic Rock (King Around Here)" by Alex Grohl https://pixabay.com/music/search/electronic%20rock%20kingLogo Artwork: Strawbeary Studios https://www.youtube.com/@StrawbearyStudios/featuredEpisode was researched, written and edited by ShanoaSocial Media:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090200010112X (formerly Twitter): @breakfastmompodEmail: breakfastwithmompodcast@gmail.comWebsite: https://breakfastwithmompodcast.com/

We wanted to learn more about mystery as a genre after reading Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club. Lucky for us, Dr. Karen Roggenkamp, professor of Literature and Languages at Texas A & M-Commerce, was available to stop by the Front Porch to talk about mysteries, crime, and mayhem. Karen helps us examine why mysteries are so popular and how the conventions of genre fiction were used in sensational crime reporting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when women, such as Nellie Bly, broke through barriers of women working in newspaper newsrooms. Karen and Nancy report The Thursday Murder Club sets itself apart from other mysteries in the depth of its characters and the ways the author deals with the loss of physical and mental powers as our beloved main characters live out their final years. Linny had never read a mystery, but loved the book, too! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/frontporchbookclub/support
