The horrific treatment of patients is the stuff out of a nightmare: making all the women use the same towel, rotten food, staff choking patients for being noisy etc. The list of atrocious behaviour by those in a position of care is endless.It was also shocking to read how quickly sane women were deemed insane for quite different illnesses.Taking a look inside an asylum in 1887 is eye opening. Nellie was incredibly brave to put herself through that ordeal for ten days. It makes you think about the poor souls left behind in similar institutes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by C***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2014* I think for a woman to go under cover like this in her lifetime is truly commendable. To hear of the cruelty that she herself and those around her sustained is truly horrifying. I feel that her actions benefited society greatly then and still so today.I found out about Nellie Bly in psychology by watching an experiment called "being sane in insane places" and you can see it. You can see how being sane can lead to insanity in these asylums. There were people there who were only admitted because they were foreign and couldn't understand what the people were saying, there was no translator provided. It's sick. It's disgusting. I'm glad that people have done something about it.A brilliant book an I highly recommend that you read it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 Hours of Reading and You're There in the Madhouse *by G***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2017* What a brave American teenager in Victorian times to endure the rigours of a cruel insane asylum typical of the day. She survived it only because she knew there was light at the end of the tunnel with someone procuring her release. It is amazing how easily and quickly she was deemed insane simply by pretending to be a poor girl who had lost her memory, was frightened of other people and kept asking for her luggage. No writhing nor wailing nor talking in strange tongues. I must however look up what the adjectives "span" and "spaner" mean in US of the time. Obviously related, one meaning more "span" than the other and the words are used frequently. I think they mean lean and leaner or small and smaller. Not making much headway but I will keep looking. Anyhoo, great book, easily read and although no surprises of asylums of the era, a shocker just the same. Hooray for Nellie Bly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/50328841-ten-days-in-a-mad-house](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/50328841-ten-days-in-a-mad-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
