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

    In Seven Stages A Flying Trip Around the World by Elizabeth Bisland - Elizabeth Bisland
    2026/09/05
    "In Seven Stages A Flying Trip Around the World" by Elizabeth Bisland captures a remarkable moment in history when two pioneering women embarked on competing journeys around the globe, igniting public fascination and rivalry. As Bisland sets off westward from New York just hours after being recruited by Cosmopolitan, the contrast between her genteel publication and the sensationalism of the New York World highlights enduring themes of gender, media, and the quest for recognition. This tale resonates today as it reflects the challenges women faced in asserting their place in a male-dominated society, while also showcasing the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of dreams against the odds. Bisland's journey, though overshadowed by Nellie Bly's more publicized trek, serves as a testament to the often-unrecognized contributions of women in history and the complexities of competition and publicity in shaping narratives. This audiobook invites listeners to explore these themes and appreciate the bravery of those who dared to venture into the unknown.
