Why read it?
1 author picked Brilliant Bylines as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Brilliant Bylines is more than a historical narrative of women in journalism, as it also includes samples of the women's writings.
My favorite is Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, better known as "Nellie Bly." She was not unknown, but she was mysterious in her own way and certainly was intriguing. Not only did she travel around the world in 1890, but she also feigned mental illness in order to get the inside scoop on an insane asylum. I named another cat after her, as well.
From Silvia's list on mysterious and intriguing women in history.
