Six Months in Mexico was written by Nellie Bly in 1888. It is an important work that shows what Mexico was like at the end of the 1800s, as well as Nellie Bly's perception and experience of Mexico, as a woman living there.

Nellie Bly writes: "One Wintry Night I bade my few journalistic friends Adieu, And, accompanied by my mother, started on my way to Mexico."
