   Ida Tarbell: "Miss Tarbarrel"/"this poison woman" 

November 1902, Ida Tarbell wrote a series of 19 carefully researched articles in McClure's Magazine, detailing how John D. Rockefeller ruthlessly forced his competitors to "sell or perish." She correctly identified railroad discounts, specifically outlawed by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, as key to creating Rockefeller's Standard Oil monopoly. Tarbell helped push the federal government to investigate the Standard Oil Trust.
