Join us online at 12:00 PM MDT on Wednesday, May 21st for an intimate conversation with bestselling author Rachelle Bergstein as she discusses her newest book, The Genius of Judy. This expansive look at Judy Blume's life, work, and cultural impact focuses on her most iconic—and controversial—young adult novels, from Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret to Blubber. Bergstein reveals how Blume, starting as a 1960s suburban New Jersey mother, became a groundbreaking artist who addressed genuine thoughts and problems of regular children, aligning with the growing women's rights movement. Despite facing backlash and becoming the country's most-banned author in the mid-1980s, Blume's works have endured, resonating with generations and remaining relevant today.
