Autorenporträt
Ida Minerva Tarbell (1857-1944) was an American investigative journalist, biographer, and lecturer, renowned for her pioneering investigative reporting that led to the breakup of the Standard Oil Company's monopoly. She became one of the leading muckrakers of the progressive era, working to expose corruption and abuses of power in politics and business. Born in Erie County, Pennsylvania, Tarbell was educated at Allegheny College, where she was the only woman in her graduating class. Her extensive, meticulous research and clear, compelling writing style characterized her work, notably in her magnum opus, 'The History of the Standard Oil Company (Complete Illustrated Edition),' which originally appeared as a 19-part series in McClure's Magazine from 1902 to 1904. This work, which is still referenced for its historical and literary significance, detailed the unethical tactics of Standard Oil to achieve and maintain a monopoly, and it substantially influenced public opinion and led to antitrust action against the corporation. Tarbell's methodology set new standards for investigative journalism. Furthermore, her exhaustive approach in detailing the workings of corporate power has left a lasting literary legacy and continues to be a seminal text in the study of American business history.
