pandas - perform string operation on all elements of a column

Question

I have a column in a pandas dataframe that is all capitals. I would like to change this to words with only the first letter capitalized.

I have tried the following:

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('my_file.csv')

data['field'] = data['field'].title()

This returns the error:

'Series' object has no attribute 'title'

Is there a simple way to perform string operations like this on a pandas column?

Found the answer here:

data['field'] = data['field'].str.title()
