- Performing Arts
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.
