named the best political book of the year. His web page informed me of how life

was in the 1880s for women from a different point of view. Most sources I have

read say that women were not given many rights at all and were horribly treated.

While Mr. Caplan does say that they were not treated very well, he states, "...it's

hard to see how this legal doctrine could have done much to restrict 19th-century

women's freedom." He does not believe women had their rights taken away,

instead that they were not openly given.

While figuring out how Nellie Bly fit into her time period, and seeing what other

explained how Margret changed the medical field, and that helped me get a feel

for how Bly could have been a turning point in business and journalism fields.

Accurately depicting Park Row in the 1890s, this picture helped give a visual for

how all of the newspapers were fighting to be on top. It also illustrated how the

newspapers were very big companies

In my website, I use talk about the difference in the challenges that female

journalists face today as compared to in Nellie Bly's time. This photograph

illustrates a woman journalist in today's time. It shows the difference that women

looked like from the 1900s to the 2000s.

Women's spheres usually only consisted of the household and nothing else, but in

this political cartoon it shows that it should contain anything women want. This

fits right into my topic of Nellie Bly, because she fought for women's rights

multiple times through her reports and proved wrong many sexists through her

achievements.

Robert Seaman was Nellie Bly's husband. This picture is a headshot of him from

the New York Public Library. I used this picture on the timeline of Nellie Bly's

In the Progressive Era, many people started becoming aware of the unsanitary and

inhumane ways animals were being butchered, stored and sold. In this cartoon, it

depicts the president and his wife "smelling" the disgusting fumes of disease and

corporate meat scandals.

Nellie Bly wrote for The World. This picture is of one of the newspapers on

January 31, 1890. It is zoomed in on the header which explains that it is Nellie

As part of my analyses of Nellie Bly's effects on society, I wrote a page about

journalism for women today. On my journalism page, I used this picture. It

depicts women from the Today Show talking on television. It shows that women

are reporters and journalists today.

In the late 1800s many women worked in factories. This picture shows how a

normal factory would look like that they worked in. It would have been like one

of the factories Nellie Bly would have visited in her research for her reports. I

found this photograph very useful to show readers what life as a factory worker

would have been like.

Being a political cartoon, this photograph helps people see how women suffragist

were though of. It shows how women had to work harder then many men to get

the same jobs or pay. Nellie Bly, as a suffragist, would have been viewed

similarly.
