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 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.
