- catalog description "Judith Martin. Letters to "Miss Manners." Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University.".
- catalog description "Judith Sylvia (Perlman) Martin, daughter of Jacob and Helen (Aronson) Perlman, was born in Washington, D.C., in 1938. She was raised in Washington and attended Georgetown Day School. In 1959, she graduated from Wellesley College with an A.B. in English, and married Robert G. Martin in 1960. Judith Martin began her career at the Washington Post in 1960 (a career that lasted twenty-five years). She started as a part-time "copy girl" and advanced to journalist, reporter, and critic. In 1978, she presented the idea of an etiquette column to the paper. The idea was politely received and "Miss Manners" was born. (Martin drew her pen name from the defunct etiquette rule: "Leave something for Miss Manners.") Since its inception in 1978, the column has been syndicated and distributed thrice-weekly by United Feature Syndicate and carried in more than 200 newspapers in the United States and abroad, making Judith Martin an internationally-acclaimed etiquette expert. Answering questions (always in the third-person) from readers' letters, her writing aims to instruct and provoke her audience, allowing readers' questions to increasingly expand beyond general table and party etiquette to the more complicated aspects of life, romance, work, family, marriage, relationships, child-rearing, death, and to delve into deeper philosophical and moral dilemmas. Judith Martin is also a novelist, lecturer and frequent guest on national television and radio. In 2005, she was the recipient of the National Humanities Medal and she has received two honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters from York College (1985) and Adelphi University (1991).".
