Requests:  1 Summary:  "While working for Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper in 1887, Nellie Bly began an undercover investigation into the local woman's lunatic asylum on Blackwell's Island. Intent on seeing what life was like on the inside, Bly fooled trained physicians into thinking she was insane--a task too easily achieved--and had herself committed. In her ten days at the asylum, Bly witnessed horrifying conditions: the food was inedible, the women were forced into labor for the staff, the nurses and doctors were cruel or indifferent, and many of the women held there had no mental disorder of any kind. Now adapted into graphic form by Brad Ricca and vividly rendered with beautiful and haunting illustrations by Courtney Sieh, Bly's bold venture is given new life and meaning, as her fearless scrutiny into the living conditions at Blackwell's asylum forever changed the field of journalism. A timely reminder to take notice of forgotten populations, Ten Days in a Mad-House warns us what happens when we decide to look away"--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.21097 Ri Graphic Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.21097 Ri Graphic Format Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library YA -- Biography B Ricca Ri Graphic missing from shelf   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction A GN Ricca   Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.21097 Ri Graphic Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library YA -- Fiction Ricca Graphic Novel Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
