Title: Ten Days in A Mad-House Pdf Illustrated and Annotated
Ten Days in A Mad-House, Was Written By Nellie Bly in 1887, after she lived, undercover, at a women's insane asylum at Blackwell's Island in 1887 for ten days. This was an assignment given to her by Joseph Pulitzer. The living conditions and treatment of the Patients were Horrible. Bly Wrote:

“The insane asylum on Blackwell's Island is a human rat-trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out.”

This Edition of Ten Days in A Mad-House Is Illustrated and Annotated with a Brief History of Blackwell's Island Lunatic Asylum, With Additional Pictures, Word Definitions and Blank Pages for Notes.

Disposable women? It amazes me that woman can be shut up in an asylum for as little as not speaking English. Bly was witness to beatings, neglect, rotten food, very poor living conditions with many more atrocities. And what upset me, most of these atrocities were at the hands of other women. The women tasked to take care of the "unfortunate". Bly was very brave to put herself in the positions she did to get to the truth.Amazed It is not often that I feel compelled to write a review. I am a HIStory minor and was acutely aware of my ignorance in knowing historical women. This is how I came upon Ms. Bly, shiffting through kindle reads etc. This was truly inspiring, the intellect and fortitude Ms. Bly shows would be remarkable by todays standards let alone at her time.Ms. Bly has a great way of using language simply but with conviction, transporting a person to a scenario or place. The reader is left with an unusual first hand account of women struggles as well as a rare glimse into the lives of the poor in a flattering light. It is also interesting how Ms. Bly is able to use her female delicate sensibilities while writing to convey her opinions without losing the 'credit' of being a lady to her uppercrust readers. I truly hope more people start to learn about this remarkable and unsung heroine.Easy read Very interesting read. Hard to believe the abuse that was normal to the workers. The story line could have been much more detailed if allowed. Her book. Found grammatical errors and possibly typos. However it could be her style of writing and ethnicity. Easy read. Would recommend to those interested in mental health and comparisons to current institutions.
