RIP Helen Gurley Brown, the woman who was the author of Sex and the Single Girl 50 years ago and the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan for over 30 years, has passed away at the age of 90. She was a pioneer in making it okay for women to want, discuss and have orgasms. Which is a pretty big deal if you're a woman and/or think sex matters to one's mental and physical health.
