Description
The Hite Report, originally published in 1976, was a sexual revolution in six hundred pages, selected as one of the 100 key books of the 20th century by The Times. Further developing her innovative use of questionnaires in cultural research, Hite went on to publish ten more books exploring the gambit of female and male sexuality, gender, relationships and family. This reader contains an overview of all of these works, addressing issues as diverse as female orgasm, men in pornography, the development of gender, global terrorism and current politics.
Reviews
