For Alice, who wants to be a photographer, it seems like the perfect foot in the door, but nothing could have prepared her for the world she enters.

Story
From the dramatic redbrick facade to the sweeping staircase dripping with art, the Chelsea Hotel has long been New York City's creative oasis for the many artists, writers, musicians, actors, filmmakers, and poets who have called it home - a scene playwright Hazel Riley and actress Maxine Mead are determined to use to their advantage. Yet they soon discover that the greatest obstacle to putting up a show on Broadway has nothing to do with their art and everything to do with politics. A Red scare is sweeping across America, and Senator McCarthy has started a witch hunt for Communists.

Story
Part advice manual and part memoir, The Late Show is truly an hysterical yet insightful guide to growing old, presented in candid, unyielding and often comedic form by Helen Gurley Brown. Ms. Brown selects topics that range from emotional security, marriage, money, sex, beauty, exercise, health, and work and explains her philosophy and shares personal experiences and as do several of her friends, including Diane von Furstenberg, Raquel Welch and Ali McGraw. Brown's honest and provocative views reflect those of the era in which she thrived as a pioneer of the sexual revolution. Although her death in 2013 may have marked the end of that era, she has left us this personal opus to memorialize a pop-culture lifestyle that may soon be no more than extinct.

The book that changed the consciousness of a country - and the world. Landmark, groundbreaking, classic - these adjectives barely describe the earthshaking and long-lasting effects of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. This is the book that defined "the problem that has no name", that launched the Second Wave of the feminist movement, and has been awakening women and men with its insights into social relations, which still remain fresh, ever since.

A few weeks after the failure of her business in London, Sarah was asked a question in a book she was reading. “What does money want to say to you?” She started writing a response and found words coming out of her pen that weren’t her own. They started with, “I would like to tell you to love me.” She was deeply touched, and intrigued to explore more about the source of this message. She went on to write in the same way every day for three months and ended up with a collection of surprising, funny and inspiring advice, apparently from the energy of money itself.

Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today's world, and people are seeking clarity and hope. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God's heart and his work for us on earth. Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness - your own or someone else's.

Most history is hierarchical: it's about emperors, presidents, prime ministers, and field marshals. It's about states, armies, and corporations. It's about orders from on high. Even history "from below" is often about trade unions and workers' parties. But what if that's simply because hierarchical institutions create the archives that historians rely on? What if we are missing the informal, less well documented social networks that are the true sources of power and drivers of change?

It's not a surprise that in 1924 The Man Nobody Knows, was repeatedly turned down by publishers. Comparing Jesus to a corporate businessman was just plain old sacrilege. But in this day and age, Barton's comparison of Biblical teachings, personalities, and situations, offer great insights into the basic principles of developing a successful business, encouraging a team, and supporting clientele.

Publisher's Summary
Still provocative after all these years, Helen Gurley Brown celebrates the pleasures of flirting, of enjoying affairs from beginning to end, throwing brunches and dinner parties, finding men where you might not think to look, dating (and ditching) married men, and being both feminine and powerful.

The Book that Birthed the Sexual Revolution
This is pre-feminist empowerment, and is an absolute hoot to listen to. "I think the single woman's biggest problem are the people who are trying to marry her off." Gurley Brown declares in the intro, and from there on in it's clever and entertaining advice for single women of the Sixties. Some of it is absolutely applicable today, the importance of financial independence, why it's good to be worldy and intelligent, why sex is a basic right for single women. It also works as a sociological time capsule, a look into pre-2nd wave feminist society.
It's like spending time with your uber-cougar man-eater grandma. Wildly entertaining. She makes singledom sound like so much fun!

the basics still apply
As a content single woman in my mid 30s a lot of the advise is still applicable to the 21st century world. The reader did give a disclaimer about how dated the ideas on topics like homosexuality or references but I just skipped over those sections or just updated the reference in my mind.
This book gives some gems of advise from am array of topics. Some of the advise you most likely have heard before, but it's good advise. I wish I would have found this book during my first big breakup in my 20s I would have saved more time and money if I had this book then.
If your a woman in her 20s or 30s and are looking for an updated version of this type of book, go get The Game of Desire by Shannon Boodram. Its definitely a great book that really helped kick start this journey of understanding and loving myself.
All in all, take in the book as if you're a modern 1960s gal. Think Mary Tyler Moore and her crazy gal pals are discussing these topics. These ladies help pioneer a new type of feminism. Yes at types flawed but not without merit.
Happy listening

Timeless Advice To Dating & Mating
Although this book was initially written in the 60s; it's a timeless treasure relevant to dating & mating in 2019 almost prothetic. I liked how it taught how to identify the different types of men around us & their role (or potential) role on a single girl's life. Great book!
