Historical fiction with a local connection to Western PA reveals what it was like for a woman in the 1880's who had talent, ambition and courage.

I loved The New Colossus! I am a voracious reader, and have high standards...this book met and exceeded my highest expectations! Its beautifully written, inspiring, with an incredible story of strong and engaging women...this book is unique and has a wonderful historical look at the early 20th century...and the emergence of Nelly Bly, first female journalist to break through the male dominated arena. Excellent!
