Judy Blume

Studio 360

There is scarcely a female in America under the age of thirty-five who didn’t have a section of her bedroom bookshelf devoted to the work of Judy Blume. Her books, like Are You There God It’s Me Margaret and Then Again Maybe I Won’t, dealt frankly with things like puberty and first love. The realism and humor of her books made an enduring impression on millions of young readers and writers. Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
