Publisher Description: <b>The biography of the revolutionary magazine editor who created the "Cosmo Girl" before <i>Sex and the City</i>'s Carrie Bradshaw was even born <p/></b>As the author of the iconic <i>Sex and the Single Girl</i> (1962) and the editor-in-chief of <i>Cosmopolitan</i> magazine for over three decades, Helen Gurley Brown (1922-2012) 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 reveals Brown's incredible life story from her escape from her humble beginnings in the Ozarks to her eyebrow-raising exploits as a young woman in New York City, and her late-blooming career as the world's first "lipstick feminist." A mesmerizing tribute to a legend, <i>Bad Girls Go Everywhere</i> will appeal to everyone from <i>Sex and the City</i> and <i>Mad Men </i>fans to students of women's history and media studies.
