*THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM*
Join bestselling author Rachelle Bergstein for an intimate online conversation about her new book, The Genius of Judy, which explores Judy Blume’s life, work, and cultural impact. Focusing on her iconic and controversial young adult novels, such as Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret and Blubber, the book delves into Blume’s journey from suburban housewife to groundbreaking author. By writing honest stories about regular kids, Blume explored themes of women’s rights, bodily autonomy, and sexual pleasure, sparking both admiration and backlash. In an era where her works are still relevant, The Genius of Judy reveals Blume’s lasting legacy in modern adolescence. Register now for a conversation you won’t want to miss!
