Shere Hite
from Now I've Heard Everything · host Bill Thompson
Human sexuality has been widely studied, researched, and written about over the years, most notably, perhaps, by Alfred Kinsey and Masters and Johnson . In the 1970s and '80s, there was a trilogy of books about sexuality by another researcher that drew widespread praise and criticism. It was called The Hite Report, by researcher Shere Hite. Much of the controversy centered on the fact that Hite was a feminist who drew upon political and philosophical viewpoints into her work. In 1988 she completed her trilogy with a volume called Women And Love. And that's when I first met her, during a whirlwind book tour that included some controversial stops, including TV's Phil Donahue show.
