Books like The Best of Bombeck

In 1984 she wrote me, "I have always felt that the homemakers of this country have no reason to feel any less a professional because they sort socks and take static electricity out of underwear. Don't anyone tell me what women can or cannot do once they've made up their minds. Remember, I've seen them at the January white sales!" She wished me continued success ... and next time she wrote, "Dear Mary ... I'm still on a treadmill... Face it -we're compulsive" She warned up and coming young people if they stayed home to raise babies and not miss anything, they faced "a 119-hour-a-week job and in the end, your kids actually thank you for being there --- 20 years later." We lost Erma in April 1996. We will NEVER lose her encouraging words and hilarious wisdom.
