Sex and the single girl

Timing is everything, and pre-Cosmo girl Brown's hot potato hit in 1962 just as the first shots in that tumultuous decade's sexual revolution were being fired. The coquettish Brown offered young girls who grew up in the sexually stymied 1950s eye-opening advice on snagging men, though not necessarily for marriage. The book, of course, became a best seller and launched its author on the path to fame. No doubt tame and kitschy by today's sexually aggressive standards but still fun. (c) Copyright 2010.
