My daughter said, "Mother, couldn't you write a book about teenagers who fall in love and do it, and nobody has to die?"
00:07
And I thought, "Yes!"
00:09
Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret.
00:11
I felt like someone was being honest. That's a gift. That's magic.
00:14
There was this moment where, "Wow, like, Judy's talking to me."
00:17
I read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.
00:19
I read E.E.
00:20
I liked the blubber.
00:21
This is my favorite book.
00:22
I grew up as a good girl with a bad girl lurking inside.
00:27
So by the time I started to write, I really had a lot to get out.
00:30
I could be fearless in my writing in a way that maybe I wasn't always in my life.
00:36
It was the first book I had read about wanting to grow boobs and the myths around how to get them and what to do.
00:41
Everything I learned about sex or crushes, I learned from Judy.
00:45
Let's all say it. Masturbation!
00:48
Let's raise our hands if we masturbate, everybody.
00:52
Oh, Judy.
00:54
We can take turns taking the reins.
00:59
Overnight, the censors came out of the woodwork.
01:02
Forever is banned year after year. Margaret gets banned because it talks about bras.
01:07
I think the kids have a right to read and to get honest answers to their questions.
01:12
Dear Judy, today was the worst day. I have a million problems.
01:18
Kids opened up to me in a way that they couldn't to their parents.
01:22
And I would answer. This is the first letter I got from Judy.
01:26
That was the beginning. We wrote for many years.
01:29
She allowed young women to be as complicated and messy and funny as we are.
01:36
I had that recognition of, I trust you and wherever you're going, I'm down to come with you.
01:43
I don't think that Judy Blume wrote her books to be timeless. I think she wrote her books to be timely.
01:47
And they were so timely that they became timeless.
