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 60 million copies worldwide. The Times recently named the initial Hite Report, The Hite Report on Female Sexuality, as one of the 100 key books of the 20th century.
