Sex and the City and Us: How Four Single Women Changed the Way

Sex and the City and Us: How Four Single Women Changed the Way We Think, Live, and Love

By the bestselling author of Seinfeldia, a fascinating retrospective of the iconic and award-winning television series, Sex and the City, to coincide with the showâ‚¬s twentieth anniversary.

This is the story of how a columnist, two gay men, and a writersâ‚¬ room full of women used their own poignant, hilarious, and humiliating stories to launch a cultural phenomenon. They endured shock, slut-shaming, and a slew of nasty reviews on their way to eventualâ‚¬"if often begrudgingâ‚¬"respect. The show wasnâ‚¬t perfect, but it revolutionized television for women.

When Candace Bushnell began writing for the New York Observer, she didnâ‚¬t think anyone beyond the Upper East Side would care about her adventures among the Hamptons-hopping media elite. But her struggles with singlehood struck a chord. Beverly Hills, 90210 creator Darren Star brought her vision to an even wider audience when he adapted the column for HBO. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha launched a barrage of trends, forever branded the actresses that took on the roles, redefined womenâ‚¬s relationship to sex and elevated the perception of singlehood.

Featuring exclusive new interviews with the cast and writers, including star Sarah Jessica Parker, creator Darren Star, executive producer Michael Patrick King, and author Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City and Us brings us a both a critical and nostalgic, behind-the-scenes look at a television series that changed the way women see themselves.
