Helen Gurley Brown, who died on Monday in New York City at age 90, was the legendary long-time editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, the saucy sparkplug for a sexual revolution, and the originator of the notion that a woman could “have it all.” Controversial and charismatic, she championed female empowerment and taught generations of women to embrace their feminine wiles and have fun in bed (married or not). Some of her best advice on love, sex, and what really matters:
1. “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.”
2. “Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork—reading, writing, thinking—can.”
3. “My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.”
