Sobre IBD

In Ten Days in a Mad-House, pioneering journalist Nellie Bly recounts her harrowing experience posing as a patient to investigate abuses at the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island. Her brave and immersive exposé sheds light on the cruel conditions faced by patients and catalyzed reforms in mental health care. Bly’s work remains a landmark in investigative journalism and a powerful call for compassion and accountability in public institutions.
