Mrs. Judith Martin:
Judith Martin's Miss Manners column - distributed six times weekly and carried in more than 200 newspapers and digital outlets in the United States and abroad - has chronicled the continuous rise and fall of American manners since 1978. Readers send Miss Manners not only their table and party questions, but those involving the more complicated aspects of life - romance, work, family relationships, child-rearing, death - as well as philosophical and moral dilemmas. In September 2013, Mrs. Martin was joined by her two perfect children, Nicholas and Jacobina, as co-writers for the Miss Manners column, adding generational wisdom and expanding the reach of insight.
