Ida Tarbell's earliest ambition was to be a biologist. While she put away her microscope in her youth, she continued to investigate people and situations of interest to her throughout her long and productive life. Tarbell was among the first American women to earn a college degree, graduating in 1880. Fiercely independent, she first took a job at a school in a different state. After returning to her family home, she fell into a writing and research assignment with a monthly newsletter.

Penned at the age of 82, Ida Tarbell gives us an intimate view into her extraordinary journey as an investigative journalist. Tarbell, renowned for her 1904 exposé, The History of the Standard Oil Company, played a crucial role in bringing down the Standard Oil monopoly. As a prolific writer and lecturer, she served on two presidential committees and is celebrated as a major feminist figure, despite her criticisms of the feminist movement. This autobiography is an evocative account of an influential woman who shaped journalism and society. - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi
