Looks at the life and career of author Judy Blume, with emphasis on the controversy and censorship surrounding some of her works.

Anyone who loves books, or dreams of writing their own, will find plenty of inspiration in Remarkable Women Writers. That's because each of the ten writers profiled - from Louisa May Alcott, to L.M. Montgomery, to J.K. Rowling - is a real-life example of persisting against all odds to realize a dream.While we think of these writers as famous today, they had many obstacles to overcome. Some, like George Eliot and Jane Austen, had to pretend that they were men in order to get published. Others, like Toni Morrison and Joy Kogawa, not only were forced to deal with discrimination against women, but with discrimination against their cultures as well. Even Judy Blume and J.K. Rowling were challenged by schools that wanted to ban their books. Yet through hard work and determination all of these women achieved what so many of their admirers wish for themselves - to tell their stories to the whole wide world!
