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

Shere Hite (1942-2020) was a 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. The Hite Report became an international bestseller, but Hite faced intense criticism and personal attacks from media and academic establishments. Dangerously ahead of her time and speaking the taboo out loud, in this episode we discuss her tumultuous career and how she eventually left the United States and spent her later years in Europe, where she continued writing and speaking about women's sexuality and cultural attitudes toward gender.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.
