Judy Blume
Judy Blume (born Judith Sussman on February 12, 1938) is an American writer.〔"Judy Blume". ''Contemporary Authors Online'', Gale, 2009. Reproduced in ''Biography Resource Center''. Farmington Hills, Michigan: Gale, 2009. Retrieved 2009-12-19.〕 Her novels for children and young adults have exceeded sales of 80 million and have been translated into 32 languages.〔Blume, Judy.("Judy's Official Bio" ).〕 In 1996, she won the Margaret Edwards Award from the American Library Association for her contribution to writing for teens.〔
Blume's novels for teenagers tackled racism (''Iggie's House''), menstruation (''Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.''), divorce (''It's Not the End of the World'', ''Just As Long As We're Together''), bullying (''Blubber''), masturbation (''Deenie'', ''Then Again, Maybe I Won't'') and sexuality (''Forever''). Blume has used these subjects to generate discussion, but they have also been the source of controversy regarding age-appropriate reading.
==Early life==
Blume was born and raised in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the daughter of homemaker Esther (née Rosenfeld) and dentist Ralph Sussman.〔Flood, Alison (October 16, 2009). ("God bless Judy Blume" ). Books Blog. ''The Guardian''. Retrieved 2010-12-10.〕 She has a brother, David, who is five years older. Her family was Jewish.〔Gottlieb, Amy. ("JUDY BLUME b. 1938" ). ''Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia''. Jewish Women's Archive (jwa.org). Retrieved 2010-12-10.〕 Blume has recalled, "I spent most of my childhood making up stories inside of my head." She graduated from Battin High School in 1956, then enrolled in Boston University. In the first semester, she was diagnosed with mononucleosis and took a brief leave from school〔 before graduating from New York University in 1961 with a bachelor's degree in Education.〔Pryor, Megan. (Judy Blume: Biography, Facts, Books & Banned Books ), education-portal.com〕 In 1951 and 1952, there were three airplane crashes in her hometown of Elizabeth. 118 people died in the crashes, and Blume’s father, who was a dentist, helped to identify the unrecognizable remains. Blume says she "buried" these memories until she began writing her 2015 novel ''In The Unlikely Event'', the plot of which revolves around the crashes.〔Brown, Helen. (In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume, review: 'a slice of life' ), ''The Guardian'', June 2, 2015.〕
