Erma Bombeck, who died 29 years ago, left the world both at wit’s end and filled with laughter. “My aim in life,” she once said, “is to communicate with the greatest number of people I can and make them laugh at themselves.” #ErmaBombeck #legacy

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Shout out to the legendary Erma Bombeck, a trailblazer who paved the way with wit, humor and authenticity. Let’s never forget the power of laughter — “When humor goes,” she famously wrote, “there goes civilization.”
