Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl is outdated by today's standards, but the book was a huge success upon its 1962 release, selling millions of copies and promoting the radical idea that life wasn't all about finding a husband. Editors Eliza Smith and Haley Swanson have compiled a timely anthology, Sex and the Single Woman, paying tribute to Brown's original work while compiling fresh insights on abortion, queer and trans womanhood, consent, race, disability, single parenthood, and more from today's feminist thinkers. Celebrated authors and Sex and the Single Woman contributors Samantha Allen and Melissa Febos will come together in conversation and celebration of the forward-thinking book.
