Her trip was sponsored by her employer, <i>The World</i>. Just hours after her ship set out across the Atlantic, another New York publication put writer Elizabeth Bisland on a westbound train. Bisland was headed around the world in the opposite direction, thinking she could beat Bly's time. Only one woman could win the race, but both completed their journeys in record time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The story of two daring women is well told...An exciting story to inspire young adventurers.--<em>Christian Science Monitor</em></p> <p> </p><br><br>STARRED REVIEW!
