In 1890, Nellie Bly would take a three-year hiatus from journalism, but would return to The World in grand fashion with the headline "Nellie Bly Again." Still riding high from the trip around the world that made her a household name, Nellie dives right back into the New York City newspaper with all the flair, courage and controversy her readers expect. Right from the beginning of COLLECTION: VOL. V, Nellie Bly challenges us with interviews of prominent American anarchists. This would be followed by articles with the "tigers" of the famously corrupt political machine, Tammany Hall. Always a champion for the downtrodden, we find Nellie meeting with the poor in New York tenements, protecting the unknowing against scams, and peeling back the curtain on the growing concern of women being enticed into betting parlors. Finally, Nellie Bly offers some of her most poignant work in coverage of the Pullman Strike of 1894. Initially intending to write a series of articles criticizing striking railroad workers, Nellie's investigation uncovers painful truths about the working conditions of blue-collar Americans, prompting her to disparage the company instead, decrying the conditions put upon their employees. Truly, in COLLECTION: VOL. V, we find Nellie's integrity as a journalist shining through.
