Nellie Bly: Google Doodle’s 1st original song (Karen O) salutes an American original
Today I learned about Nellie Bly, who was a pioneering journalist in the late 1800s and an inspiration to so many in future generations.
From the article:
Bly “grew up without privilege or higher education, knowing that her greatest asset was the force of her own will … ,” Kroeger writes in her 1994 biography, “Nellie Bly: Daredevil, Reporter, Feminist.”
“As the most famous woman journalist of her day, as an early woman industrialist, as a humanitarian, even as a beleaguered litigant, Bly kept the same formula for success: Determine Right. Decide Fast. Apply Energy. Act With Conviction. Fight to the Finish. Accept the Consequences. Move on.”
Thank you for reminding me that no matter what gender I am or classification I’m labeled, where there is a will, there is a way.
