All in the Day's Work: An Autobiography by Ida M. Tarbell
"All in the Day's Work: An Autobiography" by Ida M. Tarbell is an autobiographical account written in the late 20th century. In this work, Tarbell recounts her life experiences from her early days in a pioneering family, to her studies, and the dynamics of a woman seeking her identity in a rapidly changing society. It reflects on her evolution as a professional and a member of a transformative community, highlighting her determination
amidst the societal limitations of her time. The opening of the autobiography introduces Tarbell's roots, beginning with the context of her birth in a log house in Pennsylvania, rooted in the harsh realities of a changing America. Through her vivid descriptions of her childhood and family struggles, we see her father's aspirations for prosperity in the face of adversity post the Panic of 1857. Tarbell delves into her childhood memories, revealing her early curiosity about the world around her, the dynamics within her family, and her gradual awakening to the issues of gender and education. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for her aspirations to become a scientist, positioning her journey as one of personal growth, questioning societal norms, and laying the groundwork for her future achievements as a prominent journalist and biographer.
