My mother used to collect these really old issues (from 1880s-1990s) of the Cosmopolitan magazine. Before bed time, we would read them together. Sadly, we lost the magazines one year when we moved. I’ve been trying to find them ever since, because the stories in them were so good!
Some of my favorite stories were ones with strong female characters. I especially remember this one about a girl who sacrificed the pleasures of life to work tirelessly so her little brother could enjoy a good life. It’s interested to see how life was different yet not so different back then.
A year ago, I discovered old issues of the Cosmo uploaded to the public domain and was so freakin happy. I absolutely love these stories and thought it’d be cool to share them with others. So, I created a blog where I’ve been typing them up and publishing. It’s called [Flappers and Fiction](https://flappersandfiction.com), if anyone is interested.
