1955- Ann Landers & Abigail Van Buren
ADVICE COLUMNISTS
Twins Esther Pauline Friedman Lederer and Pauline Esther Friedman Phillips wrote the most popular newspaper advice columns in America — "Ann Landers," which Lederer took over in 1955, and "Dear Abby" (launched by Phillips in 1956). The competing counselors, estranged for a time, spoke frankly about issues such as alcoholism and AIDS, and stressed tolerance and acceptance.
