All in the Day's Work: An Autobiography
All in the Day's Work, published in 1939, is the autobiography of Ida M. Tarbell, written at eighty-two. She recalls a childhood in the Pennsylvania oil regions, where Standard Oil ruined her father; her study of biology at Allegheny College, where she was the only woman in her class; her years in Paris writing for American magazines; her recruitment by S. S. McClure; and the long investigation that became The History of the Standard Oil Company, the work that made her the most famous of the writers Theodore Roosevelt called muckrakers, a label she disliked. Later chapters cover her books on Lincoln, the war years and her views on women and industry. The tone is dry and exact. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
