She was a pioneering figure in investigative journalism, with her most famous work being her exposé on the Standard Oil Company, which played a key role in the breakup of monopolies in the United States. Tarbell graduated from Allegheny College in 1880 and was the daughter of Franklin Sumner Tarbell and Esther Ann Tarbell. She had several siblings, including Sarah, Franklin Sumner Jr., and Will. Throughout her career, she was known for her meticulous research and her ability to tackle complex social issues with clarity and impact.
