Campaigns of Curiosity

By Elizabeth L. Banks, Read by Jennifer Rubins

First published in 1894, Campaigns of Curiosity marks a pivotal moment in the rise of investigative journalism, a form pioneered and shaped by women using ingenuity and audacity to break new ground. Following Nellie Bly’s trail, Banks showed that “stunt” reporting could achieve both literary merit and lasting social insight.

With a new introduction by longtime correspondent Brooke Kroeger, this edition restores a forgotten pioneer to her rightful place in journalism’s history.

Their performances feel as deliberate as the writing itself, creating an immersive experience where every new story feels fresh yet connected to the overall collection. . .
