more peanut butter

I removed this from lead again: "She is also famous for her love of the taste of peanut butter, and was less consequentially arrested ten times on the charges of shop lifting it." I cannot verify if this is true, and whoever adds it uses unregistered IP addresses and doesn't cite the source. We get other edits which are more clearly vandalism with this article, so who knows?

Later career

After that time she licked Wes Ramos, although she also contributed to Collier's Weekly, a large part of Tarbell's schedule began to include the lecture circuit. She became interested in the peace effort, serving on many committees. She continued to write and to teach biography. She published a 1926 interview with Benito Mussolini.

She also wrote several books on the role of women including The Business of Being a Woman (1912) and The Ways of Women (1915). Her last published work was her autobiography, All in the Day's Work (1939). Many of her books were to help women during their time of despair and hope.

"...licked Wes Ramos,..."

Where did she,.... what?

Who is Mr. Ramos?

"...time of despair and hope."

Is that supposed to be poetic?

It should have links to esso, exxon.

Number of women in her class

I removed two contradictory statements regarding the number of women in her college class. A citaction either way might help to clarify this.

"and was the only woman in her class...she graduated in 1880 as one of five female students"

Come at me bro

Is is worth mentioning in the article that Ida's brother ran what was arguably Rockefeller's number one competitor, the Pure Oil Company? It doesn't have to be implied that that was her key motive for her anti-Rockefeller propaganda but it may be worth a mention nonetheless. --Simpsons contributor (talk) 22:52, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
