High Tea with Erma Bombeck
Erma Bombeck – By Your Side
Erma Bombeck captured with paring knife sharp humor the ups and downs of a new American phenomenon: the suburban housewife. Knowing you had to be able to laugh at life to get through it, she poked fun at the housewife's daily labors in her column "At Wit's End" three days a week, eventually appearing in 900 newspapers across the country and in books such as I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression and The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank. She brought to American awareness the struggles of women whose lives otherwise felt invisible and taken for granted. She let women across America know: You are not alone. In fact, we number in the millions. I, too, am an American housewife, and I will laugh by your side.
Find out how Erma got started as a humorist. And chuckle along as she pokes fun at kids, lawns, husbands, household appliances, and especially herself. Includes Q&A with Erma and Q&A with the presenter, Susan Marie Frontczak.
Presented by Susan Marie Frontczak
