RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Next clue. The subject being considered brought Tarbell into a realm that one would not normally associate with her.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
I don't normally associate Tarbell with the fight for women's rights. Does it have to do with that topic?

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Well Steve, given that most everything Tarbell did that was non-Lincoln had to do with business, in that vein the answer would be somewhat, but not exclusively.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Afraid not Steve.

Next clue:

The person who recruited Tarbell for this wrote to her, "Our little talk this morning made me feel that no one in the country can do it justice as you can, and I want to assure you that if you do consent I shall do everything in my power to cooperate with you, and that I trust it will be only the beginning of a very profitable mutual relationship." Needles to say, Tarbell agreed.

Writing a complimentary biography of a business titan? That would make the quote above from either Owen Young or Elbert Gary.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Still very logical, Steve, but not correct.

It doesn't involve a person.
