Nellie Bly
In 1889, Nellie was inspired by the 1873 novel Around the World in Eighty Days, and decided to circumnavigate the globe. She not only wanted to see if traveling around the world in eighty days was possible – she was to do it faster.
She wore a wool ghille cap, a scotch ulster coat, and a two-piece dress. She carried a 16” by 7” bag with her, filled with two hats, three veils, toiletries, needles, pins and thread, ink, pens, pencils and paper, slippers, a dressing gown, a cup and flask, a tennis blazer, handkerchiefs, a jar of cold cream, and, of course, extra underwear.

боже. вот они - героини, приблизившие рассвет феминизма.
