“People should not base their lives on a TV show.”

columns Bushnell wrote between 1994 to 1996 – which were later turned into a book – should not be taken as a feminist guide on how to live. Instead, it is a ‘coming-of-age' story that Bushnell herself moved on from long ago.

“It’s a coming-of-age story . . . It’s how I created Carrie Bradshaw, why I created Carrie Bradshaw, what happened to me afterward,” said Bushnell. "It’s really the creation story of Carrie Bradshaw — and that’s my story.” Now that Bushnell herself has progressed from her Carrie Bradshaw alter-ego, and gained some valuable experience and wisdom along the way, she offered some life advice of her own.

“We never talk about this, but that’s something that women need to think about: You can do a lot less . . . when you have to rely on a man."She added: “The reality is, finding a guy is maybe not your best economic choice in the long term. Men can be very dangerous to women in a lot of different ways."

Bushnell herself has experienced this first hand, after divorcing her husband Charles Askegard – a principal dancer with the New York Ballet – in 2012 after a decade of marriage.
