Description
Helen Gurley Brown assumed the editorship of Cosmopolitan in 1965 and completely remade a declining magazine that was first published in the 19th century. Her first issue featured an article on “the new pill that promises to make women more responsive,” just as the FDA approved birth control pills for married women in all fifty states. She repurposed the magazine for modern career women—their lives, jobs, and relationships. Inscribed by Brown to Dr. Lomazow.
