Click through Recent archives to the left or use the calendar to the right to find columns from specific dates. Below the calendar is a Browse by Month box. Searching for a specific date does not yield original publishing dates however. The earliest month listed in the archives is December 2006; since the last Ann Landers column was written in July 2002, all her columns are listed in the Archives section.
Ann Landers’ advice column ran from 1943 to 2002. Ann Landers is, in fact, a pen name. The column was originally written by Ruth Crowley, who wrote it for a total of nine years. Esther Lederer took over its authorship in October of 1955. After her death in 2002, the column ended per her wishes.
