Judy Blume

Millions of women have grown up reading Judy Blume’s books. The famed author was one of the first to write novels for teenagers that discussed sensitive topics like racism, menstruation, bullying and divorce, something that was unheard of back then. In 2012, Blume penned a post on her blog that brought many of her readers to tears. She revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and 18 years earlier she had undergone a hysterectomy due to cervical cancer. Blume’s 1981 novel “Tiger Eyes” was adapted for the silver screen in 2012.
