Please join WCEE for a book event with Anna Rubino, author of Queen of the Oil Club: The Intrepid Wanda Jablonksi and the Power of Information. In her book, investigative reporter and historian Anna Rubino tells the story of how a path-breaking journalist, Wanda Jablonski, contributed to the breakdown of Big Oil by lifting the veil of secrecy over its business, exposing its vulnerabilities, and drawing attention to its chief opponents, the founders of OPEC. Through exclusive access to Jablonski's private papers, interviews with more than a hundred people who knew her, including former oil executives and oil ministers, and her own experience working for Jablonksi's Petroleum Intelligence Weekly, Rubino has written the first-ever biography of this fearless and pioneering woman known to the oil world simply as OPEC’s midwife. As the U.S. has become more vulnerable to rising global prices, Anna Rubino's book – Queen of the Oil Club – helps us understand how Middle East oil became pivotal to the U.S. economy and national security. She takes us back to the 1950s when an elite club of Western oil executives managed the seven largest petroleum companies--and controlled access to the international oil world.
