What's an AGONY AUNT in Spanish?
If all AGONY AUNTS looked like her... Have you ever heard of Agony Columns? An Agony Column is a specific feature you can find in papers or magazines. Readers submit letters to those sections detailing their personal problems in order to receive advice. An AGONY AUNT is the common name given to those who answer those letters sent to Agony Columns. Some Agony Aunts are quite good at giving advice and become famous like Marje Proops, a well-known AGONY AUNT in Britain or Anna Williamson (photo) in the U.S.. Are there AGONY AUNTS in the Spanish- speaking world? There are and have been plenty, but there is no specific name for them and the translation, TIA AGONIA, just does not work out. An AGONY AUNT is then only a CONSEJERA PERSONAL and if the problems she responds to are sentimental in nature she would be a DOCTORA CORAZON.
