El día de hoy rescatamos a un personaje femenino, Nellie Bly, una reportera periodística que a finales del siglo XIX (1889), llevó a cabo una proeza a los 25 años de su edad: dar la vuelta al mundo en 72 días, rompiendo el record ficcional de Jules Verne en su libro "La vuelta al mundo en 80 días" (1873).
This American Experience site is my pick of the day. It contains a transcript of the 1997 PBS film that chronicles Bly's famous globetrot, but the best clicks elsewhere. Listen to the Stephen Foster song that became the inspiration for Cochrane's Nellie Bly pen name (Special Features.) Read Bly's biography (People& Events) and about Bly's stay in New York City's "notorious lunatic asylum" (Special Features.) View an annotated map of the journey that made Bly famous (Maps.)
