Why read it?

1 author picked Women Who Broke the Rules as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book offers delightful details about Judy Blume, from her time growing up in New Jersey to the purchase of her first electric typewriter.

With the publication of Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret in 1970, Judy made history with a unique book about a 12-year-old girl exploring religion and friendship.

I appreciate how Kathleen Krull takes us on the rollercoaster of Judy’s life, showing us her heartbreak when facing rejection letters, her steadfast determination to keep writing, and her joy when she finally achieved her goals. Judy Blume never gave up!
