About Our Special Guest
Judith Martin
Miss Manners
Judith Martin's Miss Manners newspaper column 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 her columns and books, Mrs. Martin explains the etiquette element present in nearly every aspect of life
and explores etiquette's philosophical underpinnings. Mrs. Martin's writing aims to both instruct and provoke her audience,
as numerous commentators have observed. You'll find Miss Manners every Thursday in The Seattle Times' Northwest
Life section.
