As the largest young women’s media brand in the world, we publish insightful and informative stories every day across our website, social media platforms, and print magazine.

All of us at Team Cosmo have one mission: to help you, our readers, discover who you are and what you love.

As the largest young women’s media brand in the world, we publish insightful and informative stories every day across our website, social media platforms, and print magazine.

Our expertise is based on our dedicated team and our unmatched legacy: Cosmopolitan started in 1886 as a “family journal,” then became a literary magazine, and, in 1965, was transformed by legendary editor Helen Gurley Brown into the brand you know today.

At Cosmo, we won’t tell you who to date or what to wear. Instead, we’ll help you explore the intricacies of your relationships through the lens of identity, style, and culture. Scroll down to get to know us better; we’re excited you’re here—and we’re always here for you.
