September 1887, a girl knocked on Mr. John Cocrill's door, the director of the newspaper "The New York World" owned by Joseph Pulitzer, and asked to be a journalist. No woman had ever reached such boldness before, her name is Elizabeth Cocrill, 23 years old, and she writes for the "Pittsburgh Gazette" under the pseudonym (Nellie Play - journalist). No one had ever heard of a female journalist before, but her previous work in writing under that pseudonym, about a famous shelter for women in New York City, convinced Mr. Cocrill and Pulitzer. Elizabeth gets the job to produce an investigative report that will change the world of journalism forever. And for Nellie Play to become a real nightmare for politicians and extremists, travel around the world, live love and failure, and emphasize that journalism should make readers' lives better. A book about the life of a brave and intelligent woman who understood before the era of social media that writing can keep us united and change our world. Number of pages: 223
