Dear Ann Landers

"Dear Ann Landers" was a popular advice column written by Esther Lederer, who used the pen name Ann Landers. Published in newspapers from the 1950s to the early 2000s, it featured readers’ personal questions and concerns about relationships, ethics, and everyday life. Ann Landers offered practical, empathetic advice to help people navigate their problems. The column was widely trusted and became a cultural fixture, providing guidance and reassurance to millions. After Esther Lederer’s passing in 2002, other writers continued the column, but her style and relatability remain most associated with the original "Dear Ann Landers."
