 Meet Edith, a lost figure of Chicago history. Daughter of John D. Rockefeller and wife of harvester heir Harold McCormick, Edith stood at the crossroads of two powerful families.

Andrea Friederici Ross, author of Edith: The Rogue Rockefeller McCormick, details the philanthropist’s accomplishments (Brookfield Zoo, opera, real estate) and family scandals.
