Hee--I read "Are you there God? It's me, Margaret" and was totally confused by the sections about the belt--very relieved when my mother assured me that no one had used a belt in twenty years. Kind of crazy to think how many tweens Judy Blume has guided through puberty, even if some of those sections are a little outdated.
And yes, I'm very, very thankful to live in an era of plumbing and tampons. I really can't imagine how women did it. But I'm guessing our granddaughters will say the same about us in 60 years.
