Non-Fiction Biography
As the author of the revolutionary Sex and the Single Girl
and the longtime editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine,
Helen Gurley Brown changed how women thought about sex,
money, and their bodies in a way that resonates in our
culture today. In Jennifer Scanlon's widely acclaimed
biography, the award-winning scholar related Brown's escape
from her humble beginnings in the Ozarks to her eyebrow-
raising exploits as a young woman in New York, and her
late-blooming career as the world's first "lipstick
feminist." A mesmerizing look at an often overlooked figure,
Bad Girls Go Everywhere will appeal to everyone from Sex and
the City aficionados to students of women's studies.
