Nellie Bly And Dorothy Kilgallen

Nellie Bly and Dorothy Kilgallen are two of the most groundbreaking female journalists in American history.

Nellie Bly fearlessly exposed the harsh, unfair working conditions for mill workers in Pittsburgh, drawing the ire of the wealthiest people in the city.  She served as her newspaper’s foreign correspondent in Mexico before being run out of the country for exposing governmental corruption, risked her life going undercover in a “mental asylum” in New York, and set a record for the fastest trip around the world – all before she was 25 years old!

Dorothy Kilgallen was the first woman journalist in American history to be a murder reporter, breaking front-page scoop after scoop before she imitated Nellie Bly and competed in a race around the world -All before she was 25 years old.  She later became an important celebrity columnist, broke major stories, and was the first mainstream reporter to challenge the Warren Commission.  As she was preparing a book purporting to prove that the murder of President John F Kennedy was a conspiracy, Dorothy Kilgallen died under very mysterious circumstances.

Nellie Bly and Dorothy Kilgallen used the power of the press to try and help make society fairer.  And each opened the door for many more women to become journalists.  This multimedia presentation is exciting, fascinating, and even a little scary as we follow these women who risked their lives in pursuit of the truth.
