Author, Reuters editor, and President of the Newswomen's Club of New York Toni Reinhold reads a chilling report from Nellie Bly's "Ten Days in a Mad-House." Reinhold began her career as a freelancer for the New York Daily News and radio stations WNBC and WHN while taking college classes at night, and remains an active pioneer for other female journalists. Journalist Nellie Bly is often best remembered for traveling around the world in less than 80 days to break Jules Verne's fictional record; but in this report, she exposes the harsh conditions of the insane asylum for women on Blackwell's Island.
