“I never planned to become an activist but things happen. You either take action or you don’t. Standing up and speaking out for what you believe in—well, it feels a lot better than doing nothing. And while you’re doing it, you find out you’re not as alone as you thought you were.” Judy Blume
Judy Blume’s books such as Are you there God? It’s me Margaret, Forever, and Iggie’s House have become a standard for many young American readers since their publications in the 1970s. Breaking the bounds of what were acceptable topics for young readers, Judy Blume changed the face of what would become known as the Young Adult genre.
In todays episode I’m joined by author Rachelle Bergstein as we discuss America’s most banned author of the 1980s and Rachelle’s latest book The Genius of Judy: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood For All of Us.
