Badass Women of America
Stunt Girls or Journalists? The Bravest Women Reporters of the 1880s.
The newspaper editors and the public in 1880 couldn't call women investigative reporters - that's what the men were called so women reporters were dubbed "Stunt Women" and weren't taken seriously until their reports started changing laws, working conditions and regulations.
These brave, adventurous women of the 1880s and 1890s became the most exciting reporters as they did something the men hadn't done - they went undercover to find the truth of how people were treated as factory workers, as hospital patients, as patients with mental illness and so much more.
Join Kit and Sherlock as they talk about these amazing women starting with the famous Nellie Bly.
