This graphic biography of the pioneering journalist begins with a woman, Miriam, watching Bill Clinton name Bly in a proclamation about Women's History Month, which reminds Miriam of her experiences as a journalism student in 1921 and her quest to interview the famous nineteenth-century writer. Although Miriam initially asks about Bly's greatest hits (her undercover investigation of an insane asylum and her journey around the world in 72 days), this graphic biography seeks to give a fuller account of her life and work. Miriam faces many of the same problems that Bly did and seeks advice from her mentor, as she recognizes that women will continue to have to fight for respect in the field of journalism. Pages and panels tend to stick to one color theme, except for the section about Bly's world traveling, which explodes in vibrant color. This graphic survey would fit well on the shelf alongside other graphic histories, like John Lewis' March series. The interview format gives a good survey of Bly's fascinating career, and the jump between time periods showcases the ongoing fight for equality for women in journalism.
