Ten Days in a Mad-House: The Original 1887 Edition (Nellie Bly's Experience on Blackwell's Island)
by

“Sometimes I think illness sits inside every woman, waiting for the right moment to bloom. I have known so many sick women all my life. Women with chronic pain, with ever-gestating diseases.

It's not an experience, it's brainwashing!”
