'Remember the Hite Report? in this new book, Hite explores the nature of friendship and work relationships between women. The paperback of Oedipus Revisited about sexual behaviour in the human male is also published simu;taneously by Arcadia' - NICOLAS CLEE, THE BOOKSELLER 02.03.07
‘Author of the groundbreaking 1976 Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality, Shere Hite has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. Now she has turned to the compelling issue of relationships between women – and why they so often turn sour. From warring sisters, to mother jealous of their daughters, to female work colleagues at war, The Hite Report on Women Loving Women reveals why women’s relationships with each other so often end in acrimony’ – Femail Magazine (a supplement to Daily Mail)
‘The Hite Report on Women Loving Women, is a treatise on female friendship and why it breaks down. Hite says that there is an underlying tension in relationship between girls that makes us compete with each other rather than get along. She thinks that if we could only overcome is, we would be all set for a new kind of 21st-century female power, one that relies not on trying to be sexier than one another, but on helping each other out’ – Style Magazine (a supplement to The Sunday Times)
‘Her new report, On Women Loving Women, is the latest series of studies into female sexual and social experience – and perhaps her most interesting yet … Her intelligent conclusions will dispel the myths about the typical angry feminist and prove that feminist theory has a relevant place in discourse today. Hopefully, Hite’s continuing work will be responsible for feminism finally getting the thumbs up’ – Hannah Hudson, Tribune
'The world's leading sexologist, has turned her exhaustive research skills to the contentious issue of relationships between women - and why many turn sour. This major new study investigates the difficult relationship between women in the workplace and in the bedroom' – Independent on Sunday
‘This new Hite Report examines women at work. The world's foremost sexologist, a woman who has spent her life studying our sex lives, has turned her considerable skills to fathoming why relationships between women break down, especially in the workplace' – Amanda Platell, Evening Standard

The Hite Report on Women Loving Women
Shere Hite (About this author)
The Hite Report on Women Loving Women is the first Hite Report in over a decade. Its publication has already generated extensive media coverage in the US, the UK, Scandenavia and elsewhere - well in advance of publication.
In this latest Hite Report, Dr Hite examines friendship and work relationships between women. She explores various definitions of such friendships: what are the limits, does it include sex? - and sets these in their historical, societal and family contexts. And with high profile media stars such as Madonna, Britney Spears and Ellen de Generis very publicly exploring the nature of female friendship and women everywhere questioning its nature, Dr Hite's extensively researched findings couldn't be more timely. The various Hite Reports (on Female and Male Sexuality, the Family, and Sex and business) have sold over 50 million copies worldwide. The initial Hite Report, the Hite Report on Female Sexuality, was recently named as one of the 100 key books of the 20th century by The Times.
