The Hite Report: A National Study of Female Sexuality » (Subsequent)

The preeminent historian today of the sexual lives of everyday women (and men), Shere Hite is a pioneering feminist and postfeminist thinker. Her most famous book is The Hite Report, and she is a regular contributor to the Financial Times, Corriere della Sera, and El Pais, among many others.

In a new introduction to this reissue of her pioneering 1976 study of female sexuality, Hite (American Academy of Maimonides U.) comments that misconceptions still persist about women's sexuality. She also notes areas in which progress has been made in the field. The volume includes the questionnaires upon which her data and conclusions were based, with a call for a new generation of readers to respond. There is no index.
