Who Told You to Tell Me What to Read?

At one time female writers were not allowed to publish books. They hid the fact that they were women by using a pen name. After a while, people realized that was silly and women were permitted to use their real names as the author or a pen name, if they wanted to. A male or female pen name. After they got over that hurdle, they had to jump over one. Having their books banned. Never knew Maya Angelou was a banned writer! Reference: Perel, Blaire. "11 Frequently Banned Books By Female Writers That You Absolutely Cannot Miss | Bustle." Bustle. N.p., Aug. 2015. ( bustleDOTcom/articles/103624-11-frequently-banned-books-by-female-writers-that-you-absolutely-cannot-miss ). March is National Reading Month.

As an adult we can read what ever we want to read. No one has the right to tall us what to read or not to read. That is our choice. I understand children cannot just read anything.
