- Judith Martin, née Perlman, uses the pen name Miss Manners for her work as a journalist, author, and authority on etiquette. She grew up living in several foreign capitals, as her father, a United Nations economist, was transferred to different posts. She graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in English. She is a Washington expert, having covered the White House before creating her now-famous advice column. She also was a theater critic and film critic. She has written 14 books on how to behave, and has also written two novels. Her most recently-published work of nonfiction is entitled No Vulgar Hotel: The Desire and Pursuit of Venice. She is married and has two children.

Miss Manners' Guide for the Turn-Of-The-Millennium door Judith Martin
Somewhat helpful. The book did not really address my questions & seemed casually sarcastic.

What can I say? I have a weakness for Miss Manners. She is frequently insightful, usually interesting, and always entertaining. Unless one hates the entire idea of etiquette, I can think of no author better suited to educate and entertain one.
This little book focuses to a large extent on customary remarks ("Congratulations!", "I'm so sorry.") and how and why they are often kinder, more thoughtful, less painful, etc., etc. than whatever spontaneous utterances one might be inspired to produce in their stead. As with most of her books, she intersperses general discussion with letters to which she responded in her column; this one, however, feels as though it has fewer letters than most, and for me that's a positive trait, as she writes better than the majority of her correspondents.
