A great piece published in 2014 about a forward thinking journalist in 1888 named Nellie Bly- the first woman to complete a trip around the world in just over 72 days. I love her spirit when faced with adversity:
“It is impossible for you to do it,” [her editor] told her. “You are a woman and would need a protector.” Even if she could travel alone, he said, she’d want to take too much baggage. “There is no use talking about it,” he insisted. “No one but a man could do this.”
“Very well,” [Nellie] said. “Start the man, and I’ll start the same day for some other newspaper and beat him.”
