Coven - Season 3, Episode 2: Shere Hite (pt.1)

Shere Hite (1942-2020) was a revolutionary sex researcher and feminist scholar best known for The Hite Report (1976), a groundbreaking study based on surveys of over 3,000 women about their sexual experiences and pleasure. Born in Missouri and educated at Columbia University, Hite challenged prevailing assumptions about female sexuality, particularly the emphasis on intercourse and orgasm through penetration alone. Her research methodology, asking women directly about their experiences and centering their voices, was both revolutionary and controversial. In this episode we discuss her natal chart, her upbringing, professional background, and what established her as a primary voice for women's sexuality.Coven is a Stars, Etc productionSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shere_Hitehttps://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/hite-shere-1942https://time.com/6333181/the-disappearance-of-shere-hite-documentary/https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Hite-Reporthttps://sevenstories.com/blogs/179-remembering-shere-hite-november-2-1942-september-9-2020?srsltid=AfmBOoqVyddGqFB3rUkmoWjDA6huQ_zemEGAUoIJGOFdn-OCAOBCfL8t&https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/24/my-life-with-shere-hite-the-forgotten-feminist-who-changed-sex-for-everhttps://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/10/dakota-johnson-brings-sex-researcher-shere-hite-to-life-in-a-dazzling-new-documentaryMovie, The Disappearance of Shere Hite, Nicole Newnham, Shere Hite, NBC News Studios, Sony Pictures Television, TeaTime Pictures, This Machine, 2024.
