Summary:

This engaging biography brings Shere Hite back into the spotlight, exploring how her groundbreaking work, The Hite Report, reshaped conversations about sex, marriage, and women's pleasure. Rosa Campbell traces Hite's rise as a major voice in second-wave feminism, her controversial research linking sexuality and power, and the backlash that pushed her out of public view. In a post-Dobbs, post-MeToo world, this book's examination of shifting ideological movements is essential to understanding both the current feminist movement, as well as how conservative, reactionary, counter-mobilization efforts can silence even the most successful of women.
