X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>You&rsquo\;re invited to an online intimat
 e conversation with bestselling author Rachelle Bergstein as she chats abo
 ut her newest book The Genius of Judy. This book takes an expansive look a
 t Judy Blume&rsquo\;s life\, work\, and cultural impact\, focusing on her 
 most iconic&mdash\;and controversial&mdash\;young adult novels\, from Are 
 You There God? It&rsquo\;s Me\, Margaret to Blubber.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Everyo
 ne knows Judy Blume.</p>\n<p>Her books have garnered her fans of all ages 
 for decades and sold tens of millions of copies. But why were people so dr
 awn to them? And why are we still talking about them now in the 21st centu
 ry?</p>\n<p>In The Genius of Judy\, her remarkable story is revealed as ne
 ver before\, beginning with her as a mother of two searching for purpose o
 utside of her home in 1960s suburban New Jersey. The books she wrote starr
 ed regular children with genuine thoughts and problems. But behind those d
 eceptively simple tales\, Blume explored the pillars of the growing women&
 rsquo\;s rights movement\, in which girls and women were entitled to caree
 rs\, bodily autonomy\, fulfilling relationships\, and even sexual pleasure
 . Blume wasn&rsquo\;t trying to be a revolutionary&mdash\;she just wanted 
 to tell honest stories&mdash\;but in doing so\, she created a cohesive\, c
 ulture-altering vision of modern adolescence.</p>\n<p>Blume&rsquo\;s brave
 ry provoked backlash\, making her the country&rsquo\;s most-banned author 
 in the mid-1980s. Thankfully\, her works withstood those culture wars and 
 it&rsquo\;s no coincidence that Blume has resurfaced as a cultural touchst
 one now. Young girls are still cat-called\, sex education curricula are ge
 tting dismissed as pornography\, and entire shelves of libraries are being
  banned. As we face these challenges\, it&rsquo\;s only natural we look to
  Blume\, the grand dame of so-called dirty books. This is the story of how
  a housewife became a groundbreaking artist\, and how generations of empow
 ered fans are her legacy\, today more than ever.</p>\n<p>Register now for
