6 Life And Love Lessons From Helen Gurley Brown
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere, and other wise words from Cosmo's iconic editor.
Not everyone sees Helen Gurley Brown as a great feminist. Some, in fact, see her as completely the opposite of that. As the editor of Cosmopolitan for 32 years, she celebrated sex and consumption.

But a new book by Jennifer Scanlon argues that Gurley Brown was, in fact, one of the great trailblazers, right up there with Betty Friedan (The Feminist Mystique) and Gloria Steinem. Entitled Bad Girls Go Everywhere: The Life of Helen Gurley Brown, the biography inspired us to look back on some of the late, great editor's wisest words, and the lessons we can take away from them.

Can Powerful Women Find Love?
Driven, successful, and... always single: Do guys really find power sexy?
According to the BBC, the average woman’s workweek is not as sexy as it used to be. In fact, it's now half a day longer than it was five years ago—sometimes with more work waiting to be done at home, leaving little time for romance. The media has coined the term "alpha female" to describe these assertive, strong, successful women who are big on work. But how do these hyper-ambitious alpha females navigate the dating land? What's an alpha female to do if she wants to date a male counterpart as ambitious and powerful as she? Historically, men have been breadwinners and women have played the supporting role, and that made up a huge part of gender roles and the balance of masculinity and femininity in relationships.
