Getting Dizzy

I've worked hard taking notes all week and my head is buzzing with stories.  There's Nellie Bly and her race around the world.  And Jane Grey Swisshelm, who antagonized powerful politicians by slamming them in her editorials.  After a lot of name-calling on both sides, the politicians broke into her news office, stole her printing press, and DUMPED IT IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. And there are the women who faked mental illness to go under cover in insane asylums to get the inside scoop on the medical treatments and living conditions.  Weren't they worried about getting out again?!  I love all the colorful characters and dramatic events of the past, but I'm worried that I will never make sense of all the information I've gathered.
