Ida M : the woman who challenged big business--and won!
Biography of Ida Minerva Tarbell, arguably one of the first journalists to regularly write exposes and through them exposed the shady business practices of businessman John D. Rockefeller.
"Tarbell was the catalyst for exposing the truth behind corruption and unfair business practices. She investigated and published works about the Standard Oil Trust for McClure's Magazine that informed the world of shady business dealings and skyrocketed her into the public eye. She wrote inspiring and engaging biographies on public figures, her most notable on Abraham Lincoln. Although largely forgotten as the country forged into the 20th century, her writing of the truth lives on."
