Book review: “Ten Days a Madwoman” by Deborah Noyes.
For March, I chose to read a nonfiction book that takes you into
Deborah Noyes’ collection of nonfiction and fiction for young read-
ers and adults that includes “Encyclopedia of the End: Mysterious
Death in Fact, Fancy, Folklore, and More,” “One Kingdom: Our
Lives with Animals” and “The Ghosts of Kerfol.”
Noyes said she would like to slide down banisters for a living,
“but writing is the next best thing.”
March is Women’s History Month. I personally feel that Nellie
Bly — the name readers knew her by who was born Elizabeth Jane
“Pink” Cochran — was a pioneer before her time. She exemplified
ambition, especially for a woman at the end of the 19th century
when the few female journalists were relegated to writing columns
about cleaning or fashion.
With a belief in herself, Bly pulled off a major journalistic stunt that
catapulted her to fame: She pretended to be insane and got herself
committed to the notorious asylum on Blackwell’s Island. When Bly
was released from the asylum, she vowed to write and expose the
cruel, inhuman treatment of patients there whom she had befriended.
Bly became a household name as the world followed her en-
thralling career in “stunt” journalism that raised awareness of
political corruption, poverty and abuse of human rights. Another
milestone for Women’s History Month was when Bly traveled the
globe in a record 72 days! For such a daring adventure she said,
“I would rather go in dead and successful than alive and behind
time” — this was the spirit of Nellie Bly.
The journey took 72 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes, and 14 seconds,
and she had broken every world record. For the first time in the
history of the world there was a recorded circumnavigation of the
earth by a woman without guide, escort or attendant.
If this sounds interesting to you, then come to your Tribal Library
and check out this hardback copy.
Thank you, Rachelle Kellogg
