Playgirl: The Official History of a Cult Magazine

A lively, unbelievably fun art book celebrating Playgirl magazine's 50-year anniversary — historic articles, spreads, commentary, photography, and extensive artwork from the '70s through today.

Description

Playgirl is a movement. This groundbreaking magazine was never just a pale imitation of Playboy; it was a major player at the dawn of women's liberation, featuring stories on barrier-breaking women from across the globe, articles about reproductive health, and interviews with feminist icons. All this revolutionary material could be found nestled among the tasteful and erotic male nudes that the magazine was built on, leading Playgirl to resonate, too, with the significant gay male readership it maintains today.
