Diez días en un manicomio

Rate this book
Diez días en un manicomio es una obra pionera del periodismo de investigación escrita por Nellie Bly en 1887. En este ensayo, Bly narra su experiencia al infiltrarse en el manicomio de mujeres de Blackwell's Island, en Nueva York, con el objetivo de exponer las condiciones y los abusos que sufrían las internas. La publicación de su reportaje en el periódico New York World tuvo un gran impacto, lo que llevó a una investigación por parte del Gran Jurado del condado de Nueva York y, posteriormente, a la implementación de reformas significativas en las instituciones psiquiátricas y al incremento del presupuesto destinado a su supervisión y mejora.

Nellie Bly

Nellie Bly (1864-1922) was the pen name of pioneer female journalist Elizabeth Jane Cochran. She remains notable for two feats: a record-breaking trip around the world, in emulation of Jules Verne's character Phileas Fogg (Bly completed the trip in seventy-two days) and an exposé, in which she faked insanity to study a mental institution from within. In addition to her writing, she was also an industrialist and charity worker. Bly died of pneumonia at St. Mark's Hospital in New York City in 1922 aged 57.
