What People Are Saying...
"I just loved reading through these essays."
—Jasmine Guillory, The Today Show
"The pieces are testaments to the hard-won freedoms of the sexual revolution that Brown both stirred and stymied."
—Megan Garber, The Atlantic
"A refreshing and relevant update to a classic, featuring some of my favorite working writers today." — Jami Attenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins and I Came All This Way to Meet You
“Essential reading for anyone who has experienced—or is currently experiencing—all the joys, pains, and complex beauty of their own singlehood era. Rather than painting one’s status as a single or childfree woman as something to be pitied or glossed over or devalued, this book takes singlehood seriously, and does not contain its exploration to one voice, but rather passes the mic around to paint a much more interesting picture." —Emma Gray, Host of "Love To See It" and author of A Girl's Guide To Joining The Resistance
"Sex and the Single Woman is at once a tribute to the ground-breaking work of Helen Gurley Brown, and a corrective for her outdated perspectives. With a wonderful assortment of eye-opening, moving stories from a diverse group of writers, the book is a joy to get lost in. Truly a celebration of sexually liberated women—of all backgrounds, ages, and orientations." —Sari Botton, New York Times bestselling editor of Goodbye to All That and author of the memoir And You May Find Yourself...
"A wide-ranging, life-affirming collection."
