For the 255th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Rosa Campbell, historian and author of The Book That Taught the World to Orgasm and Then Disappeared: Shere Hite and the Hite Report. In this episode, Rosa unpacks the groundbreaking (and controversial) legacy of Shere Hite and her bestselling work, The Hite Report—a feminist text that revolutionized how we talk about women’s pleasure, desire, and dissatisfaction. We get into Hite’s unlikely path—from being raised by a single mom in a conservative environment to modeling and working in the sex industry—and how those experiences uniquely positioned her to challenge dominant narratives about sex. We also explore the global impact of The Hite Report, the cultural backlash that ultimately erased Hite from mainstream feminist history, and why her work is still relevant today despite all the progress.
