Sex and the Single Woman: 24 Writers Update Helen Gurley Brown's Cult Classic for a New Era by Haley Swanson, Eliza Smith

emotional informative inspiring

5.0

“60 years ago, Helen Gurley Brown wrote Sex and the Single Girl, setting off shock waves, selling more than 2 million copies in 3 weeks. Her message was radical for its time: marriage was not essential for women to lead rich, meaningful lives.”

Fast forward to today, and things have changed drastically. This book features 24, incredibly written pieces, from a diverse group of individuals on what it really means to live a rich and meaningful life today. Everything from IVF, celibacy, menstruation, consent, sex work, and queer and trans womanhood; every piece has something you can take from it. 

You don’t have to have read the original book to read this one; this book is independent and highlights SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. 

An essential read for everyone - no matter how you identify, what your relationship status is, what your career is. Just read it. 

Thank you @bibliolifestyle and @harperperennial for this book. I will cherish it for a long time.
