1. Eighty Days
Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's History-Making Race Around the World
Set in the late 19th century, this thrilling narrative chronicles the daring race between two pioneering female journalists, Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland, as they attempt to circumnavigate the globe faster than the fictional Phileas Fogg from Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days." The story captures the spirit of adventure and the challenges faced by these remarkable women as they navigate different cultures, modes of transportation, and the societal expectations of their time. Their journey not only tests their endurance and determination but also highlights the evolving role of women in journalism and society during a transformative period in history.
