Nellie vs. Elizabeth: Two Daredevil Journalists’ Breakneck Race around the World

Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland are late-nineteenth-century reporters competing to be the first to travel around the globe. Their real-life race is also a contest against time as each woman presses forward by ship, train, and on foot. The book follows their separate journeys and their shared determination to finish before the other. Acrylic-ink and colored-pencil illustrations accompany the account, with back matter offering further material about the two journalists and their round-the-world challenge.
