When her father died, Elizabeth Cochran and her family were left to support themselves. To help pay rent, Elizabeth held many jobs, but her angry letter to a newspaper landed her in a writing career. The newspaper offered her a job writing articles, and she found her passion. Using the pen name Nellie Bly, she became famous for her honest, funny, and sometimes serious stories. One of her most famous articles chronicled her 72-day trip around the world.
