A Race Around the World: The True Story of Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland by Caroline Starr Rose, Alexandra Bye

5.0

I never knew about these women, both trying to travel around the world in 75 days (Nellie Bly starting first, followed by Elizabeth Bisland later the same day). This trip was inspired by Jules Verne’s famous novel, focusing on a fictional hero who traveled the world in 80 days. Loved their stories - this book has now inspired me to learn more about both women
