Additionally, inspired by Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days," she traveled around the world in just 72 days, a feat that garnered international attention. Her audacious spirit, combined with her dedication to uncovering the truth, made Bly a trailblazer for women in journalism and an iconic figure in the history of the press.
