出生: February 12, 1938 – Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States

Judy Blume is an American author known for frank, empathetic fiction about childhood, adolescence, family life, and sexuality. Her notable books include Are You There God?

传记与作者历程

Judy Blume, born Judy Sussman in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on February 12, 1938, grew up making up stories long before she imagined becoming an author. After finishing high school with honors, she studied education at New York University and graduated in 1960. The decisive shift came later, when her own children started preschool and the urge to tell stories, dormant but persistent, turned into regular writing. A continuing-education course in writing for children helped move that private imaginative life into print, leading to The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo in 1969 and, soon after, the book that made her a literary force, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. ((https://www.britannica.com/biography/Judy-Blume))
