On today's show, the latest research into exercise says it's not just movement but also medicine. Also, Lia Uribe helps us make connections in a new edition of Sound Perimeter. Plus, we remember publisher and writer Helen Gurley Brown with archives from the Pryor Center.

Beth Blum, Assistant Professor of English at Harvard, is the author of The Self-Help Compulsion (Columbia University Press 2019). In 2020, she spoke with John about how self-help went from its Victorian roots (worship greatness!) to the ingratiating unctuous style prescribed by the other-directed Dale Carnegie (everyone loves the sound of their own name) before arriving at the “neo-stoical” self-help gurus of today, who preach male and female versions of “stop apologizing!” You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll either help yourself or learn how to stop caring.

There are so many books coming out this month about rethinking women and the workplace—specifically by former magazine editors, which, as a magazine editor, I'm really into. Out today is one of the best books I've read in a long time, Samhita Mukhopadhyay's powerful The Myth of Making It: A Workplace Reckoning, which opens with a beautiful epigraph from Toni Morrison that reads “You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.” So many of us have bought into, as Samhita calls it, the myth of making it—as she writes, our definitions of success are myths, and seductive ones, at that. She writes in the book that we have a collective responsibility to re-imagine work as we know it, and she advocates for a liberated workplace that pays fairly, recognizes our values, and gives people access to the resources they need. The book traces the origins of, basically, how we've been getting it all wrong all of these years—I especially enjoyed the rethinking of Helen Gurley Brown, former editor-in-chief at Cosmopolitan and author of Sex and the Single Girl, as well as rethinking Lean In and Girlboss and hustle culture. Samhita writes about how millions of us “in the past decade—and especially during and after the pandemic—have looked at their lives and said, ‘What the fuck?' Why are we working all the time to make less than our male counterparts? Why are we doing most of the childcare, even when our partnerships are ‘equal'? Why have we sacrificed so much of our personal happiness to be driven by these undefined measures of success? Why were we spending more time with our coworkers than with anyone else in our lives? Why are we tired all the time?” She adds, “The way we work has become untenable, both personally and globally. We are craving something more and something better,” and she adds, of her rock bottom while executive editor at a major fashion magazine, “all I could think was, This is not normal. There must be a better way. My hope is, together, we can find it.” In this book and in this conversation, Samhita discusses the end of the hustle, Anna Wintour, burnout, working moms, and so much more. Samhita is the former executive editor of Teen Vogue and former executive editor at Feministing. As a writer, her work has appeared in New York Magazine, The Cut, Vanity Fair, Vogue, The Atlantic Monthly, and Jezebel. Let's get into our conversation.   The Myth of Making It: A Workplace Reckoning by Samhita Mukhopadhyay

Join us as we chat with renowned celebrity portrait artist Jason Mecier, who shares the intricacies of his extraordinary craft. Jason describes how he transforms personal items sent to him by his subjects into breathtaking portraits. He creates pieces that reflect the personal and public characteristics of people, ranging from superstars to his friends. The magic in Jason's work lies in its ability to tell a story, from Carol Channing's lashes, to the vibrancy of Rue Paul, to Liss's "half-billion dollar face".  He takes us behind the scenes to explain his artistic inspirations, from the spark that ignites a new piece to the joy of its completion.

In the 1960s, under the leadership of Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmo morphed from a “proper ladies' magazine” to a much racier version that was thought of as being a sex manual disguised as a woman's magazine. The target audience was the young working woman. Women in their 60s were not reading it and were certainly not buying subscriptions for their daughters or granddaughters.  And here we are, Cosmo has just published a groundbreaking, article titled Sex after 60 based on research done in collaboration with the renowned Kinsey Institute of Sexual Research. The Kinsey research team, which I was part of, provided the questions which were ultimately answered by over 3000 women, and then analyzed the data.  In this episode, I have a conversation with sex therapist Dr. Rachel Zar, who was quoted extensively in the article, and who is, as most of you know by now, my daughter.  This episode is based on an article that was published in the January issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.  https://www.cosmopolitan.com/interactive/a45893760/sex-after-60/ For more information on this topic:  Episode 14: Need to Know Info About the Penis in Your Bed with Dr. Rachel Rubin Episode 16  Minimizing the Monotony of Monogamy with Dr. Alexandra Solomon Episode50 Dating in a Digital World-The Kinsey Report on with Dr. Justin Garcia  Episode 54 What Happens During Sex Therapy with Rachel Zar  Episode 89  Faking Orgasm with Rachel Zar  Slip Sliding Away: Turning Back the Clock on Your Vagina-A gynecologist's guide to eliminating post-menopause dryness and pain Rachel Zar PhD, LMFT, CST is a couple and family therapist and an AASECT-certified sex therapist.

Episode: 2831 Reading the Long History of Cosmopolitan Magazine.  Today, a great American magazine.

Helen Gurley Brown (c.1922-2012) helped shape a new vision of working girls. As editor and chief of Cosmopolitan magazine and author of the international bestseller “Sex and the Single Girl,” she advocated (sometimes controversially) for women's sexual freedom and autonomy.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us.

Dr. Lisa Petty calls herself a “midlife alchemist,” who helps women navigate the big questions of midlife after arriving there with a sense of panic and uncertainty about her own identity and purpose. This led her to pursue a master's degree and eventually a doctorate focused on the wellbeing of women at midlife. She says the concept of “having it all,” introduced into the culture in the early 1980s by Helen Gurley Brown, the former editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine, quickly turned toxic. It went from an aspiration to a command. Having it all now meant doing it all. Lisa emphasizes the importance of tuning into our bodies, following our intuition, and embracing our own unique journey of self-discovery. Guest BioDr. Lisa Petty started her career as a holistic nutritionist and health researcher, and quickly became recognized as a speaker, journalist, award-winning author and media health expert. After several years coaching women who struggled to follow through on their health goals, Lisa earned a PhD for her research on how midlife women experience self-care in the face of the social pressures on them to be perfect in every facet of their lives. Her new book “Forget About Having It All: The Midlife Woman's Guide to Creating the Life you Want” is a combination of research findings and Lisa's own story of midlife self-discovery. Through a combination of research and channeled wisdom, Lisa now helps midlife women navigate midlife and create the life they really want.Turning 40 and Abandoning the Toxic Concept of ‘Having It All'In this episode of the Forty Drinks Podcast, host Stephanie speaks with Lisa, a midlife alchemist and holistic nutritionist. Lisa shares her journey from a soul-sucking career in finance to finding her true calling in holistic nutrition. As she navigated the challenges of raising a child with a heart defect, Lisa delved into the world of holistic health and became a teacher and coach. However, as her own children grew up and she faced an empty nest, Lisa felt a deep sense of panic and uncertainty about her identity and purpose. This led her to pursue a master's degree focused on midlife women and their relationship with food and wellbeing. Eventually, Lisa obtained her doctorate and became an expert in self-care for women at midlife. Throughout the episode, Lisa emphasizes the importance of tuning into our bodies, following our intuition, and embracing our own unique journey of self-discovery. She encourages women to recognize the distractions and societal expectations that often hinder their wellbeing and to embrace their own power as creators. The episode concludes with a reminder to listeners to follow the glimmers of joy and authenticity in their own lives. Highlights from the episode:Lisa's transition from a soul-sucking career in finance to holistic nutrition and a doctorate in the wellbeing of women at midlife.The challenges women face in taking care of their wellbeing and the societal expectations placed on them.The toxic concept of ‘having it all,' first espoused in Helen Gurley Brown's seminal 1982 book, “Having It All.”The importance of tuning into our bodies and following our intuition for self-discovery.How to recognize and embrace the glimmers of joy and authenticity in our lives as mini spiritual awakenings.Overall, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical tips for women navigating the complexities of midlife and finding their true selves.

The female has far greater control over mating.  The universal law of nature is that males display and females choose. Male peacocks spread their tails, females choose. Male rams butt horns, females choose. Among humans, boys try to impress girls--and the girls choose. Nature dictates that in the mating dance, the male must wait to be chosen. ... An average man would seem to be good enough for the average woman by definition. If women were to mate with all the men “worthy” of them they would have little time for anything else. To repeat, hypergamy is distinct from monogamy. It is an irrational instinct, and the female sexual utopia is a consequence of that instinct. The sexual revolution in America was an attempt by women to realize their own utopia, not that of men. Female utopians came forward publicly with plans a few years after Kinsey and Playboy. Helen Gurley Brown's Sex and the Single Girl appeared in 1962, and she took over Cosmopolitan magazine three years later. Notoriously hostile to motherhood, she explicitly encouraged women to use men – including married men – for pleasure.

Don;t waste your life on growing old. Helen Gurley Brown built her reputation from the 1960s on the idea of being youthful and sexy and vibrant. But in this 1993 interview, brown reflects on how it feels to be getting older. And she doesn't like it.

Na początku lat 60. przekonała Amerykanki, że nie ma co się śpieszyć do ślubu i pieluch, singielka bawi się dużo lepiej, o ile skorzysta z kilku praktycznych porad. Poza tym kariera to świetnie przygotowanie do małżeństwa - uczysz się, jak zadowolić mężczyznę. Przez ponad trzy dekady była naczelną "Cosmopolitan", magazynu dla kobiet - to jest dziewcząt, wiecznych dziewcząt - który feministki nazywały "zestawem survivalowym kobiety uciemiężonej", a czytelniczki kupowały dla praktycznych rad i lekkiego tonu. A nasza bohaterka mawiała, że jest za całkowitą równością, tyle że mierzy się z rzeczywistością. Rzeczywistością, w której wolała się wygodnie umościć niż ją zmieniać. W dzisiejszym odcinku “Herstorii Wysokich Obcasów” Katarzyna Wężyk i Natalia Waloch opowiadają o Helen Gurley Brown.

Across the rich world there is a negative relationship between incomes and weight, as measured by body mass index. The richer people are, the thinner they tend to be. But separate the data by gender and a startling gap appears. Rich women are much thinner than poorer ones; but rich men and poor men are just as likely to be overweight or obese.On this week's podcast, hosts Alice Fulwood and Thomas Lee-Devlin examine why it may be rational, in economic terms, for ambitious women to pursue thinness. John Cawley of Cornell University explains his research that suggests overweight women have lower salaries than their thinner peers. We examine the legacy of Helen Gurley Brown, the outspoken former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, who championed dieting to get ahead. And Jennifer Shinall, a law professor at Vanderbilt University, considers potential solutions to weight-based discrimination.Sign up for our new weekly newsletter dissecting the big themes in markets, business and the economy at www.economist.com/moneytalks For full access to print, digital and audio editions, subscribe to The Economist at www.economist.com/podcastoffer Hosted on Acast.

Host Catherine Nichols discusses Helen Gurley Brown's 1962 Sex and the Single Girl with guests Briallen Hopper and Samantha Allen, both contributors to the 2022 collection Sex and the Single Woman: 24 Writers Reimagine Helen Gurley Brown's Cult Classic. The conversation covers Brown's class consciousness as well as the perplexing combination of hope and drudgery involved in her advice for living a glamorous, feminine life. While Brown acknowledged before her death that her advice was only for a narrow slice of the population--she acknowledged that lesbians might exist, but she had no useful advice for them—Nichols, Hopper, and Allen discuss how her form of femininity affected their lives. Briallen Hopper is the author of Hard to Love: Essays and Confessions (Bloomsbury, 2019) and Gilead Reread (forthcoming from Columbia University Press). Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Paris Review, the Washington Post, The Yale Review, and elsewhere. She teaches creative nonfiction in the MFA program at Queens College, CUNY and in the Yale Prison Education Initiative. Samantha Allen is the author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle (Zando, 2022) and the Lambda Literary Award finalist Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States (Little, Brown, 2019).

2019: Once again, novelist Renee Rosen delivers up a slice of actual history by taking us through it in the persona of a young woman, named Alice Weiss. This time, Rosen takes her readers back in time to the moment in 1965 when Cosmopolitan magazine is on the verge of shutting down, only to be saved against all logic by an inexperienced new editor named Helen Gurley Brown, best known as the controversial and provocative author of "Sex and the Single Girl."

Renee Rosen's latest book has been described as “Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada,” and explores Helen Gurley Brown's first brazen year as Cosmo editor. And while the most scandalous woman in 1960s New York dares to talk to women about all things off-limits, her young PA Alice is pushing boundaries of her own. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and Renee Rosen talks about what Gurley Brown would have made of Me Too, the legendary brothers who created the Chicago Sound, and the thing she loves most about writing. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: The "bottom drawer' novels that will never be seenWhy re-writing is Renee's favorite thingWhat she learned from the Blues Helen Gurley Brown and Me Too?The literary fiction she most admiresRenee's latest project Where to find Renee Rosen: Website: http://reneerosen.com/ Facebook: @reneerosenauthor  Twitter: @ReneeRosen1 Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/412370.Renee_Rosen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reneelrosen/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: But now, here's Renee. .  Hello there Renee and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Renee: Thanks, Jenny, it's good to be here. Writing 'a life-long dream' Jenny: Renee, was there a Once Upon A Time moment when you decided you wanted to write fiction, as distinct from any other writing you might have been doing? And if so, what was the catalyst for it? Renee Rosen - always wanted to be a writer. Renee: You know, it's weird. I've known that I've wanted to be a writer ever since I was a little girl. I'm not even sure exactly where this came from, because I wanted to be a writer before I was a reader, which is so backwards. I was writing ad copy for a long time, but I was always working on a novel. And I would get up at 4:00 in the morning to write. And I was always late for work because I would get carried away with whatever book I was working on. And lot of 'bottom drawer' novels, lots of books that didn't go anywhere. But it's just something I've always known since I was a little girl. It's weird. I have no idea where it came from. Park Avenue Summer Jenny: It is unusual that you think about writing almost before you could read, but I'm not surprised because your books read as if you are someone who has had a professional career as a writer. That's for sure. Renee: Thank you. Jenny: So the latest one. Park Avenue Summer has been described as Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada. And it focuses on Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmopolitan's first  editor. And it brings the New York of the 1960s very much alive. I mean, to someone who actually is old enough, I hate to admit, to have read Sex and the Single Girl first time round, even in New Zealand, it had an impact. What drew you to Helen and Cosmo as a story? Renee: Well, it's interesting. I'd been binge watching the TV show Mad Men and I really just fell in love with New York during that time period. I knew I wanted to set a book in New York. I thought, well, I'll do it during the 60s. Helen Gurley Brown 'obvious' I was searching for another glamorous type of industry - not advertising -  to use as a backdrop. And initially I had started working on a fictional magazine with all fictional characters. And then I was talking to my editor about the book, and it was like a blinding glimpse of the obvious. We were like, oh, my God, Helen Gurley Brown and Cosmo. And so that's where that came from. And then we were off and running. Jenny: That's great, because you have made it to your thing really to have a combination of true life, factual people and fiction, haven't you? Renee: Yes. I'm backing away from that in the book that I'm working on now. We can talk about that later maybe.  But yes, other than really one book,

Author Renee Rosen has penned 5 works of historical fiction. Her latest, Park Avenue Summer , focuses on two women: one fictional and one not. The setting is 1965, New York City. And the historical character that readers might recognize is Helen Gurley Brown. Through this novel, Rosen explores a four-month stretch soon after Brown was named editor-in-chief of a failing Cosmopolitan magazine.

We spoke with Renee Rosen, author of Park Avenue Summer from Penguin Random House, about her process, her amazing research, and what she wishes writers could know about what it's like after book six. Pitched as Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada, the story features a young woman who, just after arriving in NYC from her small hometown, secures a position working for the inimitable Helen Gurley Brown at Cosmopolitan. Renee shares insights from her many years as a published author--the winding road she took, the reviews she received, and the things she learned along the way. We're particularly fond of how she describes retracing her character's steps, literally, and how she got inside the apartment where she would have lived, and found the bus stop where Helen commuted each morning. We also talk about the specific choices on her first page, which bring readers right into the world she's created.  We also learn her super powers--creating perfect salads and power washing--and, yes, the recipe is in the show notes.  We hope you enjoy.    NBS (Nice Big Salad) Recipe Big bowl of mixed greens (I prefer the Spring Mix) ½ Avocado diced Fresh Basil (about 10 good size leaves) torn into smaller pieces I medium shallot minced ½ cup hearts of palm ½ cup red or yellow beets diced ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved Top with feta or goat cheese Toss, chop and serve with the dressing of your choice, although I rarely use salad dressing because it's just so good the way it is!

Kate Kilbane and and Dan Moses, The Kilbanes, discuss their rock opera “Weightless,” at ACT's Strand Theatre through May 12, 2019 with host Richard Wolinsky. This is the second of three rock operas by the Kilbanes, and played previously at San Francisco's Z Space. The story comes out of Ovid's Metamorphosis, and tells the story of two sisters, Procne and Philomela, and their betrayal and subsequent revenge. Weightless hovers somewhere between a concert and a play, starting with songs and narration and gradually expanding into a story with additional actors. The Kilbanes also discuss their other projects, including a musical based on the life of Helen Gurley Brown.

Everyone knows the name Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmopolitan’s famous Editor-in-Chief and the inspiration for fictional NYC women like Carrie Bradshaw, Peggy Olson, and Hannah Horvath. A new novel set in 1960s New York sheds light on the surprisingly tumultuous beginning of Gurley Brown’s 32-year reign at Cosmo, including how she kept the lights on at the magazine even as she was railroaded by Hearst executives. When Gurley Brown took the reins in 1965, she was best known as the author of the controversial Sex and the Single Girl, and was viewed as an unbecoming choice to lead a magazine with a rich literary history. But the changes she brought—from sexy covers featuring young women to grabby headlines that were the precursor to clickbait—turned Como’s fortunes around and revolutionized women’s magazines. The story of those early months is told through the eyes of Gurley Brown’s fictional assistant, in Renee Rosen’s historical novel PARK AVENUE SUMMER (April 30, 2019). Informed by Rosen’s extensive research—including interviews with Lois Cahall, who considered Helen her second mother—the novel contains irresistible details only those closest to Helen would know. ABOUT Mad Men meets The Devil Wears Prada as Renée Rosen draws readers into the glamour of 1965 New York City and Cosmopolitan Magazine, where a brazen new Editor-in-Chief--Helen Gurley Brown--shocks America by daring to talk to women about all things off limits... New York City is filled with opportunities for single girls like Alice Weiss who leaves her small Midwestern town to chase her big city dreams and unexpectedly lands the job of a lifetime working for Helen Gurley Brown, the first female Editor-in-Chief of a then failing Cosmopolitan Magazine. Nothing could have prepared Alice for the world she enters as editors and writers resign on the spot, refusing to work for the woman who wrote the scandalous bestseller, Sex and the Single Girl. While confidential memos, article ideas, and cover designs keep finding their way into the wrong hands, someone tries to pull Alice into this scheme to sabotage her boss. But Alice remains loyal and becomes all the more determined to help Helen succeed. As pressure mounts at the magazine and Alice struggles to make her way in New York, she quickly learns that in Helen Gurley Brown's world, a woman can demand to have it all.

In episode five, we talk with Karen Karbo about unsuspecting and historic feminists. "One of the women I've been researching is Helen Gurley Brown [1st Editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Magazine] and it's really interesting because everything that we're talking about now, she talked about in Sex & The Single Girl, which was published in 1962. ...One of the chapters is: How Do You Have An Affair With A Married Man. Nobody had seen anything like it." Karen Karbo is the author of multiple novels, working of creative non-fiction, and a memoir. Her Kick-Ass Women Series includes Julia Child Rules, How Georgia Became O'Keeffe, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel, and How To Hepburn. Her short stories, essays, and reviews have appeared in Elle, Vogue, Esquire, Outside, The New York Times, Salon, Slate, and other magazines. She's a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and Oregon Book Award, and was selected for the Amtrak residency.

In this episode, Natalia, Niki, and Neil debate recent claims that the Left is destroying civility in politics, the LGBTQ+ history of American gym culture, and a half-century of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: When White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant by its owner, many decried the incident as evidence of a decline in civility. Natalia cited historian William Chafe’s book Civilities and Civil Rights. At Vox, Niki wrote about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s own history of being called “uncivil.” An Indianapolis CrossFit location recently canceled a workout intended to celebrate Pride Month, and backlash was swift. Natalia wrote about the history of LGBTQ+ culture and American gyms for Slate and also cited historian David K. Johnson’s Journal of Social History article on male physique magazines. She talked more about the issue recently on the All About Fitness with Pete McCall Neil noted recent Past Present episodes on the “gayborhood” and the “twink” were relevant to this segment’s discussion.

Sex and the Single Girl was wildly popular non-fiction book written in 1962 by Helen Gurley Brown, editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine. It broke taboos and sold millions by encouraging women to take charge of their sex lives at a time when men had all the power in the bedroom. 56 years later, the single girl might have more say and more power, but she still has questions about sex, and she isn’t afraid to ask. Whether you’re a single gal worried about her sexual mojo, or a guy wondering how to turn his girl on, all your questions will be answered by our guest this week, psychotherapist, writer, and sex coach, Vanessa Marin.

Helen Gurley Brown probably would've loved Michele Promaulayko. Like the legendary founder of Cosmopolitan. As the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, the largest women’s media brand in the world, Michele is powerful, smart and outspoken. She is also the editorial director of the Hearst Young Women’s Group, which means she is also in charge of Women’s Health and Seventeen. Michele is responsible for shaping the editorial voice of all three brands, reaching an audience of more than 51 million readers. This year, under Michele’s guidance, all three titles were nominated for National Magazine Awards in the personal service category, and Cosmo took home the coveted ASME award. In this episode, Linda zeros-in on how Michele snagged the top job at Cosmo (after spending eight years in the number two position), what it is like to be advising the self-empowered millennials of today, and whether it is possible to, as Helen said, have it all.

“Women's history, if they had any, consisted in their being beautiful enough to become events in male lives,” the feminist academic Carolyn R. Heilbrun noted in a series of 1997 lectures, suggesting the need for new narratives and new ways of writing women's lives. Brooke Hauser‘s Enter Helen: The Invention of Helen Gurley Brown and the Rise of the Modern Single Woman is an exciting new entry into group of books that have emerged in the last few years to offer provocative and innovative biographical readings of women's lives (Kate Bolick's Spinster, for example). In Enter Helen, Hauser contextualizes Helen Gurley Brown's experience, demonstrating how the times in which she lived affected her and she, in turn, affected them. In many ways a misfit, Gurley Brown's approach made many in the women's movement uneasy. Rather than arguing for the overthrow of the patriarchy, she advocated that women use everything at their disposal to make it in a man's world. Advice that might ring a little retro, it was nonetheless well intentioned. And, in a long career devoted to the advancement of women, Gurley Brown worked tirelessly to make visible narratives that might otherwise have remained unavailable to her readers. She did not think she was beautiful and her life was far more than an event in the life of a man. It was the main event, and it's a life whose impact continues to be felt to this day- particularly in the magazine and advertising industries but also in the lives of single women discovering and re-discovering her classic book.

How to research the history of sexual harassment in the office, when the term sexual harassment was only invented in 1975 and it was long tabou to even use the word sex in conversation? Using an array of rich sources — from Treasury Department archives to trial records, congressional investigation files to films and novels, popular weeklies and dailies to postcards, advertisements to confession magazines, private papers to employment advice guides — Julie Berebitsky takes the reader on a discovery of sexuality in the white collar-office from the Civil War to the present day. Sex and the Office: A History of Gender, Power and Desire (Yale University Press, 2012) analyzes sexual relations, non-consensual and consensual, among co-workers, arguing that the 19th-century ideal of the passionless woman gave way by World War One to an ideal of feminine attractiveness, one that was later transformed by Helen Gurley Brown in the 1960s into a professional strategy for its time. At the same time, feminist groups and the secretarial labor movement coalesced to fight back against decades of discrimination and sexual violence in the office against women workers. Berebitsky concludes her book with an analysis of the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas case, which brought the issue of sexual harassment into the living rooms of Americans. This case, and the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton affair, demonstrate that there is both continuity and change in American attitudes towards sex at the office. Learn more about your ad choices.

Using an array of rich sources — from Treasury Department archives to trial records, congressional investigation files to films and novels, popular weeklies and dailies to postcards, advertisements to confession magazines, private papers to employment advice guides — Julie Berebitsky takes the reader on a discovery of sexuality in the white collar-office from the Civil War to the present day. Sex and the Office: A History of Gender, Power and Desire (Yale University Press, 2012) analyzes sexual relations, non-consensual and consensual, among co-workers, arguing that the 19th-century ideal of the passionless woman gave way by World War One to an ideal of feminine attractiveness, one that was later transformed by Helen Gurley Brown in the 1960s into a professional strategy for its time. At the same time, feminist groups and the secretarial labor movement coalesced to fight back against decades of discrimination and sexual violence in the office against women workers. Berebitsky concludes her book with an analysis of the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas case, which brought the issue of sexual harassment into the living rooms of Americans. This case, and the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton affair, demonstrate that there is both continuity and change in American attitudes towards sex at the office. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1982, at the height of the feminist movement, Helen Gurley Brown, published a book entitled Having It All, love, success, sex and money.  A popular TV movie of the time, was also entitled Having  it All and had Dyan Cannon  with a high powered job on both coasts. Oprah has said that women can have it all, but not all at once.  And now 31 years after Helen Gurley Brown's book, the debate still rages on.  Sheryl Sandberg has recently talked about the efforts of woman in the workplace, and now Debora Spar, the President of Barnard College, in her book Wonder Women: Sex, Power, and the Quest for Perfection, takes a fresh look of what is possible and and not for the woman of the 21st century.My conversation with Debora Spar:

We're sensing a shift in momentum over the past week, one that clearly favors Romney & Ryan — as Obama & Biden appear to be running against the wind, or rather a windfall of bad statistics on employment, mounting debt, and rising prices. Could just be the hot air from Vice President Joe Biden, the preternatural one-man gaffe machine, who appears to be taking his haplessness to the next level. Will Obama keep him on the ticket? We certainly hope so. This Sunday we'll feature we two terrific guests—Roger Kimball, editor of the New Criterion and one of America's foremost cultural critics, about his new book “The Fortunes of Permanence: Culture and Anarchy in an Age of Amnesia.” Kimball's nimble intellect will match his wit as we discuss the prospects for the survival of Western culture. Kyle Forti will tell us about Media Trackers hot-off-the-presses stories about the wage gap in the General Assembly between Democrat women and their male co-workers, along with State Senator Linda Newell's apparent campaign finance violations. We want to know what's going on. We'll also talk about how Paul Ryan continues to energize the GOP ticket. He is having a substantive impact on the campaign, especially on the blockbuster issue of Medicare. We'll say farewell to Helen Gurley Brown, the notorious long-time editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, discuss the recent violence directed at the conservative Family Research Council, and take our proverbial hats off to the court decision upholding the Pennsylvania Voter ID law. PLUS: Are real books better than e-books? What's this about a restaurant giving discounts to diners who leave their cell phones at the door? And what are we to make of Bill Gates' new focus on toiletry? Don't miss the hard hitting commentary and hot bumper music. In honor of Vice President Biden, we'll be playing our favorite songs about “chains.” Tune in to 710 KNUS or 1460 KZNT Colorado Springs or online at www.710knus.com from 5 to 8 PM.

Tidligere redaktør av det amerikanske kvinnemagasinet Cosmopolitan, Helen Gurly Brown, døde i går 90 år gammel etter kort tids sykdom. Brown var en av magasin-verdenens mest respekterte redaktører og en pioner for kvinner i journalistikken.

This week on 51%, we dive into our archives and hear from two authors; one highlights 29 difficult women, the other an immigrant who shares the stories of other immigrant women. Bestselling author Karen Karbo's book “In Praise of Difficult Women – Life Lessons from 29 Heroines Who Dared to Break the Rules,” features women who refused to choose between being true to themselves or being accepted and loved. Karbo writes about Frida Kahlo, Nora Ephron, Hillary Clinton, Carrie Fisher, Elizabeth Taylor, Helen Gurley Brown, Laverne Cox, Lena Dunham, and others. All, she says, are spirited rule breakers who charted their way with little regard for social or cultural expectations. Karbo spoke with 51%'s Allison Dunne in 2018. “In Praise of Difficult Women – Life Lessons from 29 Heroines Who Dared to Break the Rules" is published by National Geographic. You can hear her full interview on episode #1504. Dr. Bilha Chesner Fish is an Israeli-American immigrant living on Long Island and in New York City. Dr. Fish, a distinguished radiologist and founder of Manhasset Diagnostic Imaging and Pathways Women's Health, also established the Unbeaten Path, which provides programs for adolescents on topics such as anorexia, bulimia, STDs, bullying, and mental health issues, for which they receive health credit in high school. Dr. Fish is a longtime advocate for community service and women's empowerment. In her book “Invincible Women: Conversations with 21 Inspiring and Successful American Immigrants,” she speaks with women from around the world about their journeys to America and the obstacles they faced. When we spoke last summer, I asked why she decided to write the book. “Invincible Women: Conversations with 21 Inspiring and Successful American Immigrants” is published by Hybrid Global Publishing. You can hear her full interview on episode #1615. Thanks for joining us for this week's 51%. I'm your guest host Elizabeth Hill. Thanks to Ian Pickus and Tina Renick for production assistance.
