An illustration in Nellie's book Ten Days in a Mad House, depicting her getting checked out by a psychiatrist. Nellie spent 10 days undercover to expose the maltreatment of female patients, many of whom she felt were as sane as she. She had to pull out some serious acting chops to get herself committed in the first place, but the stunt paid off ~ not only did it launch her career; it also led to state reforms of mental institutions + diagnoses.
