In Seven Stages A Flying Trip Around the World by Elizabeth Bisland - Elizabeth Bisland

from Technical Error · host Hal Clement

"In Seven Stages: A Flying Trip Around the World" by Elizabeth Bisland chronicles her daring journey to circumnavigate the globe in response to Nellie Bly's race against time. Departing just six hours after Bly, Bisland embarked on her adventure from New York, heading west as the public eagerly followed both women's quests. This tale not only highlights the competitive spirit of the late 19th century but also underscores themes of ambition, gender, and the pursuit of recognition in a male-dominated society. Bisland's story remains relevant today, reminding us of the relentless drive to break boundaries and the importance of female voices in history, making it a compelling listen for those who appreciate tales of courage and exploration.
