Sex and the Modern Girl: A Nonfiction Reading

In her retro romp, Enter Helen: The Invention of Helen Gurley Brown and the Rise of the Modern Single Woman, journalist Brooke Hauser reveals how a self-proclaimed “mouseburger” from the Ozarks invented the “Cosmo Girl” and became one of the most influential women of her time. In Future Sex, Emily Witt explores internet dating, internet pornography, polyamory, and other avant-garde sexual subcultures as sites of possibility.
