A soppy contribution to the national pastime of deifying the work of raising kids, When God Created Mothers was a giant hit: The most enduring, sadly, is probably one of her least representative.
Her columns could (and can, though yellowed) be found gracing refrigerator doors across the nation, next to Dear Abby clippings and grocery lists. Motherhood was her beat and she was very, very funny.īombeck’s appeal was deliberately middle-brow. By the time her career reached its peak in the mid-1980s, her syndicated column, At Wit’s End, ran three times a week in 900 newspapers across North America. Bombeck was inarguably one of the most successful and widely read female humorists of the 20th century.
