She is best known for her 1904 book, "The History of the Standard Oil Company", which was listed as No. 5 in a 1999 list by New York University of the top 100 works of 20th-century American journalism.  It was first serialized in "McClure's Magazine" from 1902 to 1904.  She depicted John D. Rockefeller as crabbed, miserly, money-grabbing, and viciously effective at monopolizing the oil trade.
