Helen Gurley Brown, the former editor of Cosmopolitan who transformed
the magazine in the 1960s into a source of sexual empowerment for women,
died Monday morning.
Gave ‘Single Girl’ a Life in Full (Sex, Sex, Sex)
How times changed.
Helen Gurley Brown,
who as the author of “Sex and the Single Girl” shocked early-1960s
America with the news that unmarried women not only had sex but
thoroughly enjoyed it — and who as the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine
spent the next three decades telling those women precisely how to enjoy
it even more — died on Monday in Manhattan. She was 90, though parts of
her were considerably younger.

Ms. Brown was declared a living landmark by the New York Landmarks Conservancy,
a private nonprofit organization, in 1995. Like many landmarks, she had
much restoration work done, which she spoke of candidly: a nose job,
breast augmentation, face-lifts, eye lifts and injections of silicone
and fat into her face to keep wrinkles at bay, among other procedures.
