Helen Gurley Brown, who fed the sexual revolution of the 1960s with her best-seller “Sex and the Single Girl” and then turned around the failing Cosmopolitan magazine by injecting her philosophy that women could have it all -- “love, sex and money” -- has died. She was 90.
Brown died today at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center after a brief illness, according to a message to employees at Hearst Corp., Cosmopolitan’s publisher, from Frank A. Bennack Jr., Hearst’s chief executive officer. No further details were provided.
