Explorer Letter

Dear mother,

As i write to you, i’m on my way to make the world tour alone. Especially, don’t worry, there is nothing to panic about, i will be safe.
I’m going to do this journey to prov that us, women had prov what we are able to accomplish at this epoch.
The world tour record is of 80 days by Phileas Fogg. That’s why i want to beat this record as an independent women. I want prov to the world what we are able to accomplish without a man’s help.

I will be able to assert myself and fight against the prejudices i have to face. I hope that i can count on you to deliver the message to our family.
Particurlarly, don’t worry and i hope you’ll support your daughter despite the distance and be proud of her.


Love you, Nellie Bly
