Edith Rockefeller McCormick (August 31, 1872 – August 25, 1932) was an American socialite, daughter of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller. She and her husband Harold Fowler McCormick were prominent in Chicago society, supporting many causes, including the city’s first opera company. After being treated for depression by Jung, she became a successful Jungian psycho-analyst herself. She has also studied astrology and reincarnation. She remained prominent after her divorce from McCormick and helped sponsor and organize several "Women's World Fairs" celebrating female achievement in the 1920s.

Edith was born on August 31, 1872, at her parents' home in Cleveland, Ohio. She was the fourth daughter of schoolteacher Laura Celestia "Cettie" Spelman (1839–1915) and Standard Oil co-founder John Davison Rockefeller. Her brother was John Davison Rockefeller Jr. (1874–1960). Her three elder sisters were Elizabeth (Bessie) (1866–1906), Alice (1869–1870), and Alta (1871–1962). Edith and her father had an often stormy relationship, where her extravagance would often conflict with his frugality. She was educated at home by private tutors and unlike other women of means at the time, did not attend finishing school. Read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Rockefeller_McCormick
