Cosmopolitan Magazine is the largest-selling young woman's magazine in the world. Cosmopolitan is famous for its upbeat style, focus on the young career woman and candid discussion of contemporary male/female relationships. Cosmopolitan has reported on modern social trends since its founding in 1886, as a magazine for "first-class families". In the '60s, under the editorial direction of Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmo pioneered its then-radical message to women: "Live big, go for it, be the best you can be in every area of your life."
