Born Elizabeth Jane Cochran, she started her life very normally and almost well off for that time. In Nellie Bly’s story we learn very quickly about the impact of adult relationships on young children. She was always playing with her brothers and she never wanted to be seen as weak. We also learned about how spunky and fast she was as a child.
For Florence Griffith Joyner we learn a lot about her parents and the aspirations they had for her.
