Episode 4 - The Curious Mind of Ida Tarbell - The Suffragist Project

OdysseyStage

Investigative journalist Ida Tarbell was the "muckraker" whose reporting brought down John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil monopoly at the turn of the 20th century. Having shattered many a glass ceiling herself, she paradoxically opposed the Woman’s Suffrage movement. In this play she visits her suffragist mother at Christmas, 1916, a few months before the United States enters World War I and three years before ratification of the 19th Amendment.
