In 'The Pride of Being a Woman,' Shere Hite and Philippe Barraud explore sexuality and eroticism through an interview format. They analyze how female sexual liberation has impacted sexual customs and how this has transformed the experience of sexuality in men. Based on extensive documentation, they offer an accessible view of human sexuality in the 20th century, addressing topics such as sexual relations in old age, homosexuality, pornography, and sexual definition in childhood and adolescence. They pose a crucial question: When can we speak of sexual equality?
