DALLAS (BP) -- One popular magazine that sometimes makes it embarrassing to take
your kids through a grocery line is Cosmopolitan.
The magazine has
actually been around since 1886. It used to be a family publication. Then
changed in 1965 when the faltering publication hired Helen Gurley Brown as its
editor. At that time, television was becoming the recreation medium of choice

Gurley Brown transformed the magazine to target the single working woman. During
her 40 years at its helm, Cosmopolitan's circulation hit more than 2.5 million.
