'All in the Day's Work' Summary
Ida Tarbell's autobiography, 'All in the Day's Work', is a fascinating account of her life and career as an investigative journalist. Tarbell was born in 1857 in Pennsylvania. She began her career as a teacher, but she soon turned to journalism. In 1892, she joined the staff of McClure's Magazine, where she quickly made a name for herself as an investigative journalist. Tarbell's most famous work is her 1904 book, 'The History of the Standard Oil Company.' This book was a devastating exposé of the Standard Oil monopoly, and it was a major factor in the company's eventual dissolution. Tarbell was also a noted feminist and social reformer. She was a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and she wrote extensively about the women's movement. Tarbell's autobiography is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of journalism, the oil industry, or the women's movement.Book Details
