These two feats propelled her to international stardom, electrifying readers around the globe for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet those events do not begin to grasp the scope of her career as a reporter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween 1885 and 1922, Nellie Bly penned hundreds of stories on a variety of topics. At the height of her career, reporting for Joseph Pulitzer's \u003ci\u003eNew York World\u003c\/i\u003e, she interviewed presidential candidates and convicted criminals, sports heroes like boxer John Sullivan and wrestler William Muldoon, inspirational icons like Helen Keller and Susan B. Anthony, and many more. One week would find her going undercover to expose a swindling lobbyist, the next taking up a new profession as an actress, the next reporting on a strike. Perhaps never before has a reporter had such a wide-ranging, adventurous career!
