Start of the career

Bly started searching for a paper that would encourage her to compose more substantive writing, as she decided to write articles that discussed both men and women. She relocated to New York City in 1886. Bly had a tough time seeking employment as a woman.

Exposé

When Bly came in the fall of 1887, Blackwell was putting more than 1,600 people into the asylum, which had been designed to accommodate 1,000 patients. Extensive spending cuts have resulted in a sharp reduction in clinical care, with just 16 doctors left on board. Yet the common wisdom of the time, both about the origins of mental disease and how patients should be handled, was the most troubling of all. Asylums like Blackwell's were called oddities, where thrill-seekers like Charles Dickens and others could pay a visit to anyone deemed "nuts." Doctors and staff with no experience and, in many cases, little conscience recommended extreme and brutal therapies that did more harm than good.

Her first success

The New York World published a collection of Bly's stories about her stay in the hospital on Blackwell's Island after she claimed to be mentally ill for ten days. Bly became one of the most well-known journalists in the United States since the publication of Ten Days in a Madhouse. Her hands-on approach to stories grew into what is now known as investigative journalism. When Bly wanted to fly around the world, she brought her promising career to new heights.

Her travels

Bly's goal was to beat the fictitious Phileas Fogg's 80-day odyssey mentioned in Jules Verne's 1873 book, but her bravery and persistence helped her circumnavigate the globe in 72 days, setting a world record, exceeding her own goal of 75 days, and unbeknownst to her beating out her rival, Cosmopolitan magazine's Elizabeth Bisland..

Her life after travels

Bly resigned from journalism in 1895 after marrying millionaire Robert Seamen. In 1903, Bly's husband died, leaving her in charge of a large industrial business. Her imagination and independent spirit flourished in the corporate world. Bly went on to trademark a number of oil-related inventions, many of which are still in use today. Bly returned to journalism in her later years, reporting the women's suffrage movement and World War I. Bly died of pneumonia on January 27, 1922, while still working as a journalist.

“I've always had the feeling that nothing is impossible if one applies a certain amount of energy in the right direction. If you want to do it, you can do it.”
