Six Months in Mexico

Six Months in Mexico is a book by investigative journalist Nellie Bly that compiles her reports from Mexico between 1886 and 1887. During her time there, Bly documented and exposed government corruption and the poverty experienced by the Mexican people. She also reported on the censorship and mistreatment of local journalists by the government. These critical reports angered Mexican officials, leading to her expulsion from the country. The compilation of these articles provided an unflinching look at the socio-political climate of Mexico at the time.12
