nell nelson disappeared the minute she got married.got a beautiful house in new jersey and had two daughters and i don't know that she wrote again. they have her suffrage teas and things like that. she married a pulitzer sort of right hand man actually who then hearst hired away from him. so he remained very involved at a very high level in the newspaper business, but she wasn't doing any writing herself, and ida b. wells, despite having four children, i think started editing a newspaper, like, the day after her wedding pretty much. she went in and out of doing journalism but also i think the pretense she is going to leave it behind was very thin. but then just to think about, like, other women that had three divorces of women who married very young and then, like, their careers took off and really overshadowed their husband or they were always away, and so stunt reporting produced a lot of failed marriages as well. >> i see we have a question in the q & a button, steph any, do you want to ask that one? >> miya says i have copy of sens

nell nelson was a wonderful writer, exposed a loter of important things, helped establish laws, get femalectory inspectors. there's really no material beyond her writing that was published in the papers. same for this mysterious girl reporter. one of my favorite sources that i came upon is this scrapbook which someone put together in 1898 and the person who put it together, a lot of these women came together in 1898 at this textile strike in new bedford massachusetts. pretty much all female reporters in new york were there to cover in one way or another. local massachusetts paper and he hated all of these women writing what he thought yellow journalism, trashy terrible stories and is good articles about their coverage of the textile strike and various jokes about how horrible female reporters are in is really valuable because a lot of these papers are digitized to access them and search for the writer's name but a whole bunch are really important the art like the chicago times, the new york journal which hired a lot of the reporters it's great to have the crumbling papers that don't exist
