Helen Curley Brown Research Paper

Helen Gurley Brown was born February 18, 1922, she died August 13, 2012. (Fox, 2012) Helen was an american author, publisher, and business women. She also was the editor and chief for Cosmopolitan magazine for 32 years. ("Helen Gurley Brown" 2017) When she wrote the book "Sex and the Single Girl", about a single girl who thoroughly enjoyed sex, she shocked the world. Although Helen said things that was questioning to most she was an independent powerful woman in the publishing world. (Weigel, 2016) w\Warrior women come in all shapes sizes and what they do, i see Helen as a warrior women, because she wasn't afraid to ever speak her mind. she didn't care about what the readers thought she wrote about what she wanted to write about. She took a lot of crap from people about what she stood for. Even with that she never backed down.

Helen published her book in 1962 and sold millions of copies because the topic was so shocking. Her co-workers grumbled about the message in her book but it did not take long for her message to become main stream. "There is a catch to achieving single bliss" Brown stated to her 'Single Girl readers',
Yet, it was debated until her death, whether or not her feminism helped or hindered the cause of women liberation. What is clear, is that she was a groundbreaking figure in women's history. There was a debate wether or not she was a feminist or not, some say she was a devout feminist and other say she was just spreading the wrong message to girls about their bodies. Although i don't agree with some of the things Mrs. Brown said such as " If your not a sex object, your in trouble." (Fox, 2012) That is one thing that she said that i don't agree with. The reason for that is that i don't agree that women have to just have sex to have it. if women aren't comfortable having sex they shouldn't be lead to believe that they are in trouble if they don't wanna make their body a sex
