Extent

111.92 linear feet ((258 + 1/2 file boxes, 3 folio+ boxes) plus 1 folio+ folder, 3 folio folders, 5 oversize folders, 1 supersize folder, 38 photograph folders, 3 folio photograph folders, 2 folio+ photograph folders, 19 slides, and 4 objects)

The majority of the Shere Hite papers contain materials relating to her professional career as a researcher and writer on sexuality, a commentator on cultural norms and current events, and as a public figure. The papers include biographical material; correspondence; public response letters to her work; completed questionnaires for the Hite Reports; drafts of her writings; project files; clippings; notes; photographs; memorabilia; and electronic records. Additional materials were added to the collection in April 2021. These materials are housed in #262.1-262.8, 261F+B.11, OD.5. All other files remain in the same order. Folders are listed in intellectual, not numerical, order. Electronic records were received on ninety 3.5" diskettes and 2 Zip disks. Disks were imaged using FTK Imager. Data on twenty-nine of the disks were unrecoverable. Selected data has been converted to PDF/A for preservation and delivery. In February 2023, entries for the electronic records (#E.1-E.20) were added to the finding aid. Please note that sometimes multiple types of content (e.g. writings, draft letters, etc.) related to different projects are part of a single electronic document. Because of this, the archivist arranged the files as logically as possible.

The collection, originally in storage facilities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Paris, France, lacked any recognizable original order; the 180 linear feet of papers were in a state of extreme disarray, and many items were found loose. Fourteen archivists at the Schlesinger Library roughly sorted the material into broad categories: audiovisual materials; addresses; published articles by and about; biographical; conferences; correspondence; drafts; engagements; fan mail; financial and legal; international; memorabilia; notes and scraps; photographs; posters; publicity; publishers; questionnaires; speeches; and television and film ideas. Two processing archivists then worked as a team, completing further rounds of sorting with help from student assistants. The archivists focused their efforts on limiting extensive cases of overlap and filing inconsistencies. However, due to the nature of the documentation, some overlap within and among series remains. More detailed information regarding the location of specific types of material can be found in the series descriptions below. Researchers are encouraged to use the browser's search feature to locate materials by topic, title, or genre.

Many folders in this collection contain undated materials, and may include random notes on scraps of paper, post-its, napkins, empty match books, and other objects, often folded, taped, and/or stapled together. Such materials have been left in their original condition; preservation photocopying was not attempted. There were some folders or packets of papers with original headings by Hite. Where possible, these original folder titles have been maintained and appear in quotation marks; remaining titles were created by the processors. To maintain any possible context, Hite's original folders have been kept intact, even when multiple folders with the same headings have overlapping dates. Additional material received as electronic files will be reformatted at some future date for inclusion in this collection.

Series I, BIOGRAPHICAL, PERSONAL, AND LEGAL, ca.1940-2007 (#1.1-22.12, 261F+B.1-261F+B.6, 262.1, E.1-E.2), contains correspondence, notes, and printed materials relating to Hite's personal life and legal activities.

There is significant overlap and some possible duplication among each subseries, particularly Subseries A, B, and C (e.g., publicity and agent correspondence, which closely relate to Hite's published works, can be found within all three subseries). Also, there is overlap of information among folders within each subseries (for example, royalty information for a particular publisher may be found within folders titled "royalties," or by the publisher name).

The subseries is arranged chronologically.

Series III, QUESTIONNAIRES AND RELATED RESEARCH, ca.1972-2005 (#203.1-260.9, 217F+B.1-217F+B.2, 218F+B.1-218F+B.2), contains blank and completed questionnaires, data charts, notes, quotes, and related material for Hite's research, and demonstrate her method of analysis. For drafts of the reports, see Series IV.

Beginning in the early 1970s, Shere Hite developed an extensive survey that included numerous open-ended questions about what women felt, what they liked, and what they thought about sex; the questionnaires were printed on the National Organization for Women, New York Chapter (NOW-NYC) letterhead and distributed with the help of the chapter. To examine her hypothesis that a "woman's place in sex mirrors a woman's place in the rest of society," Hite designed her questionnaires to be answered anonymously. She published the answers in the respondents' own words. Her intention was for women to see their own and other women's personal lives more clearly, thus expanding their views of sexuality, and strengthening their identities as women.

Hite describes her methodology in the introduction of the first Hite Report (1976): "The questionnaire and three different versions were distributed to women all over the country since 1972. Great effort was put in the mailing and distribution of the questionnaires in an attempt to reach as many different kinds of women, with as many different points of view, as possible. Early distribution was done through the National Organization for Women, abortion rights groups, university women's centers, and women's newsletters. Notices appeared in the Village Voice, Mademoiselle, Brides, and Ms. magazines, informing readers that they could write in for the questionnaire. Later, more notices appeared in church newsletters, and Ouí magazine published the questionnaire in its entirety, with 253 women responding to it. Finally, the paperback Sexual Honesty: By Women for Women, which contained forty-five complete early replies, asked women readers to send in their own replies since the publication in 1974. All-in-all, one hundred thousand questionnaires were distributed, and slightly three thousand returned."

Hite continued: "The questionnaires were analyzed in this way: a large chart was made for each question asked. Each person's answer to a question being analyzed was then copied onto that chart, next to its responder's identification number. Once the charts had been prepared, the answers were categorized by finding patterns. The figures were prepared by totaling the number of women in each category, following which representative quotes were selected. This procedure was followed for each question."

While Hite has been praised for using a research method that provoked high levels of honesty in the responses, critics argued that Hite's data was not collected using standard sampling techniques. Some researchers raised questions about her conclusions, which, though presented as representative of the views of various populations, were based on responses from non-scientific samples. Critics further argued that the high non-response rate also biased or skewed the results.

Hite used a similar methodology to gather and analyze research for three additional reports: The Hite Report on Male Sexuality (1981), The Hite Report: Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress (1987), and The Hite Report on the Family (1994). For further information regarding her methodology and funding, and for lists of the organizations and publications that published each questionnaire, see the introductions to the individual books.

Folders are arranged alphabetically by general questionnaire. Following the first survey on female sexuality, Hite distributed three other major questionnaires regarding male sexuality, women and love, and growing up in the family. She also distributed variations of the major questionnaires along with smaller surveys, such as the Japanese questionnaire, which contributed to a Japanese version of the report. Hite received responses to the questionnaires years after the relevant books were published. She likely used these later responses in subsequent editions of her major publications, or other related books, such as The Shere Hite Reader (2006).

All of the questionnaires were intended to be anonymous. Responses in English were digitized and identifying information of those who chose to provide personal names or addresses have been redacted to protect their privacy. Questionnaires completed in languages other than English have not been digitized and are closed for 80 years. All original completed questionnaires in English will be closed for a period of 80 years, while redacted, searchable electronic copies are available at the Schlesinger Library. Researchers wishing to use redacted digital copies must make an appointment with Research Services.

Series IV, WRITINGS AND OTHER PROJECTS, 1975-2007 (#116.1-185.15, 261F+B.8, OD.3, E.8-E.20), contains drafts of articles, books and related material, and files regarding film, television, and other projects that are arranged alphabetically within three subseries. For published versions of articles, see Series V.

Subseries A, Articles and related, 1982-2007 (#116.1-132.13, E.8), is arranged alphabetically by subject, or title when known, and contains drafts, notes, and correspondence regarding the many articles Hite wrote for foreign and United States publications including Cosmopolitan (London), El País (Spain), and the Washington Post. Topics generally regard human sexuality, equality in the family, and women's issues, as well as many other subjects. Hite appears to have altered or expanded articles for various purposes as the content of many of the articles is similar. Additionally, she may have expanded articles into chapters of books or full-length books, or alternatively, edited chapters or taken excerpts from her books to create articles for publication. For additional drafts of articles, see correspondence regrading articles in Series II, Subseries A.

Subseries B, Books and related, 1976-2005 (#132.14-177.3, 261F+B.8, OD.3, E.9-E.19), contains drafts of and notes regarding Hite's best known works, such as The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality (1976), The Hite Report on Male Sexuality (1981), and The Shere Hite Reader (2006), as well as book proposals and drafts of books that were never published. Titles of books that were published appear in italics while working titles of unpublished books and chapter titles appear in quotation marks. Books and related material are arranged alphabetically by title.

Subseries C, Film, television, and other projects, 1975-ca.2005 (#177.4-185.15, E.20), contains files arranged alphabetically by type and then by production or project title thereunder. Files often relate to articles or books, such as the The Hite Report on Female Sexuality, that Hite may have intended to expand into film, television, or World Wide Web projects. Files also document autobiographical projects, such as biopics. In addition, there are fictional dramas and non-fiction projects, including talk shows and documentary proposals, which may or may not have been produced. Items include correspondence, film and television scripts, proposals, outlines, notes, funding information, executive summaries, business plans, and research material. Various proposals and a significant amount of correspondence document Hite's professional dealings with agents, producers, and representatives from film production companies and television networks.

Series V, CLIPPINGS AND ARTICLES, ca.1970-2006, contains various published articles by and about Hite, reviews, interviews, and profiles of Hite that appeared in newspapers and periodicals within the United States and abroad. Many of these published writings were sent to Hite from a clipping service. Some clippings are syndicated articles that appeared in various newspapers. Archivists and student assistants gathered together clippings that were dispersed throughout the collection; discarded some obvious duplicates, while retaining sampled syndicated versions of columns in order to maintain geographic diversity; and clipped relevant articles from magazines. This series has been digitized and most articles are full text searchable. The originals have been discarded. The digitized series is available at the Schlesinger Library. Researchers wishing to use the digital copies must make an appointment with Research Services. For draft versions of articles by Hite, see Series IV.

Series VI, NOTES, 1977-2003 (#185.16-202.4, 262.8), contains items that have been minimally processed due to the original condition of the material. Items include handwritten "general" notes (#185.16-197.4), and notes regarding specific subjects, arranged alphabetically by topic. "General" notes contain scraps of paper, which are often taped or stapled together; post-its; clippings from magazines and newspapers; napkins; empty match books; and other materials, usually in color marker or pen and often illegible. Hite appears to have written down various thoughts or ideas as they occurred to her, on whatever material was nearby. Notes referred to as "general" include a wide range of topics of a personal and professional nature. Many folders include multiple topics, and include thoughts about articles and publications; contacts; personal health issues and aesthetics; living arrangements; actresses and celebrities; financial information; and weekly schedules and commitments. Extremely personal notes are mixed with those of a professional nature; these folders are closed until January 1, 2043.

Larger batches of notes regarding specific topics have been separated from general notes and are arranged alphabetically by subject; original folder titles have been maintained. Topics include adoption, articles and books, interviews, press releases, public relations, Hite's scientific method, and a proposed women's club. To protect personal privacy, #199.8 and 201.12 are also closed until January 1, 2043.

Series VII, PHOTOGRAPHS, ca.1916-1995 (#PD.1-PD.45), contains photographs of Shere Hite along with images of her family and husband Friedrich Höricke, her pets, friends, and special events in which she participated. In many of the photographs she is alone. Also included are professional photographs that Hite used on book covers, or that were published with magazine articles about her. Formats include black and white and color photographs, Polaroids, slides, and negatives, and are arranged alphabetically by subject. Most of the photographs in this collection are or will be digitized and available online.

Series VIII, MEMORABILIA AND OVERSIZED, ca.1970-2004 (#202.5m, FD.1-FD.3, 217F+B.1-217F+B.2, 218F+B.1-218F+B.2, 261F+B.1-261F+B.11, OD.1-OD.5, SD.1), contains buttons, followed by oversized material removed from various series throughout the collection; a plastic bag (#261F+B.9m) is also listed and filed with the oversized material. The oversized listing also serves as a shelflist for oversized items found throughout the collection and listed previously in the series above.

BIOGRAPHY

American-born German author, sex educator, and feminist, Shere Hite was born Shirley Diana Gregory in Saint Joseph, Missouri, to Paul Gregory and Shirley Hurt Gregory on November 2, 1942. Shirley Gregory was 16 years old when Hite was born, and divorced her husband and later remarried. Hite was adopted by her stepfather, Raymond Hite, though she was raised by her grandparents and then by her mother's sister.

After graduating from Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1960, Hite earned degrees in history (BA, 1963 and MA, 1966) from the University of Florida, Gainesville. From 1969 to 1972 she worked towards a PhD in history at Columbia University (New York City). She would complete her doctorate in international relations with a specialty in gender politics at Nihon University (Tokyo, Japan) in 1996.

Early in her career, Hite worked as a model and posed nude for Playboy magazine. In the 1970s, she became active in feminist circles and began her groundbreaking research relating to women's sexuality. From 1972 to 1982, she directed the feminist sexuality project for the National Organization for Women, New York Chapter, and in 1976 published The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality, which was based upon anonymous responses to questionnaires in which women detailed their sexual experiences. This was followed by other works based on responses to questionnaires, including The Hite Report on Male Sexuality (1981), The Hite Report on the Family: Growing Up under Patriarchy (1994), and The Hite Report on Women Loving Women (2007), among others.

In 1976, Newsweek magazine named Hite one of the "most outstanding people of the year," and the World Almanac named her one of "America's 25 most influential women" in 1978.

By the early 1990s, she began writing regular opinion pieces and articles for various newspapers and magazines and traveling internationally as a lecturer and consultant. Starting in the late 1990s, Hite founded the Hite Research Foundation, part of Hite Research International, to increase and advance the visibility and potential of women around the world. Related companies and projects included Hite Research Enterprises, which was designed to provide counseling and networking services among women's rights activist groups. Also during this time she began teaching at Nihon University, Chongqing University (China), and Maimonides University (Florida).

Hite married the classical pianist Friedrich Höricke in 1985 and moved to Europe in 1989. Due to ongoing criticism of her research and methodology, Hite renounced her United States citizenship in 1995 and became a German citizen. She divorced in 1999 and subsequently married Paul Sullivan. Hite died September 9, 2020, in London, England.
