"I shall never, sir, be worthier . . . than I am now. I shall never cure myself of an impetuosity which is all the more dangerous because I believe its motive is sacred."-Napoleon Bonaparte, A Life of Napoleon Bonaparte by Ida TarbellA Life of Napoleon Bonaparte; with a Sketch of Josephine, Empress of the French (1901) was the second of two biographies Ida Tarbell wrote about the French emperor. It details the life of one of history's greatest military and political leaders, from his earliest youth through his death in exile. Because the author spent several years studying in France, she had a very solid knowledge of French history, and this biography has been described as "definitive." It is also sufficiently fast-paced that the author herself called it "biography on a gallop."

"There is nothing of the autocrat in Judge Gary's make-up. He is human-humane. He often smiles-his smile is famous. He seldom frowns. There are no hard lines in his face and his blue eyes are kindly."-B.C. Forbes, Men Who Are Making America (1919)The Life of Elbert Gary (1926) is one of several biographies of prominent industrialists written by Ida Tarbell. The subject, Elbert Gary, was a lawyer and businessman who was greatly admired for his success in helping organize the United States Steel Corporation. Although he had a reputation for improving working conditions and wages, he was also held responsible for triggering a steel strike in 1919 by his opposition to unions.

"As they fastened her to the fatal plank, her eyes fell on a colossal statue of liberty erected to celebrate the first anniversary of the 10th of August. 'O liberté,' she cried, 'comme on t'a jouée.' Then the axe dropped, the beautiful head fell; Madame Roland was dead."-Ida Tarbell, Madame Roland Madame Roland (1896) is the second of several biographies that gained Ida Tarbell widespread acclaim. Born Marie-Jeanne Phlipon, but best known under the name Madame Roland, the book's subject was a French revolutionary, salonnière, and writer, greatly admired for her strong intellect, political savvy, and skills at lobbying and negotiating.

"The only reason I am glad I am a woman is because I will not have to marry one."-Ida TarbellIn The Business of Being a Woman (1913), Ida Tarbell rode the wave of an upsurge in interest in the changing role of women in Western culture. Since she was among the earliest writers to explore this social phenomenon, the book is truly a pioneering work. In it, the author acknowledges the rising discontent among women of her generation to limit their role to that of housewife, and encourages those who are restless to explore male roles. However, she also argued that the responsibilities of homemaking and motherhood remained the noblest and most rewarding for a woman.

"When one attempts to set down [...] his impressions of a great gathering like the Conference on the Limitations of Armament, he will find himself swayed from amusement to irritation, from hope to despair, from an interest in the great end to an interest in the game as it is being played." -Ida Tarbell, The Peacemakers Peacemakers-Blessed and Otherwise (1922) by Ida Tarbell is a report on the Washington Naval conference held between 1921 and 1922 to discuss naval disarmament and ways to relieve growing tensions in East Asia. Reflecting concerns that followed World War I, it was intended to prevent the possibility of another war by bringing the leaders of the international community together. Tarbell, a well-known journalist and author, provided readers with a detailed description of the events at the conference as well as an insightful analysis of its value.
