  "account": "Among the books that have reached us from the feminist wave of the 1970s, The Hite Report (1976) is one of the lesser-known. Few people know the name of its author, Shere Hite, born in Missouri in 1942, and the milestone she represented 50 years ago by opening up the topic that most women do not experience orgasms during penetration. She did this in this work in which she compiled the responses of 3,000 women between the ages of 14 and 78 who, in some cases for the first time, expressed themselves freely about their sexuality. She worked for five years compiling and synthesizing a titanic volume of data that focused on what women really felt, denouncing a sexology made by and for men, centered on male pleasure and the idea of vaginal penetration.",
  "summary": "El Informe Hite, publicado en 1976, es un libro menos conocido pero de gran relevancia en la ola feminista de los años setenta. Escrito por Shere Hite, una autoría que pocos reconocen, la obra recopila las respuestas de 3.000 mujeres entre 14 y 78 años sobre su sexualidad, muchos por primera vez. El informe reveló que la mayoría no experimentaban orgasmos durante la penetración, exponiendo una sexología dominada por hombres que se centraba en el placer masculino y la idea de la penetración vaginal. Este estudio pionero abrió los ojos sobre la sexualidad femenina, desafiando la narrativa prevaleciente y obligando a la sociedad a enfrentarse a una realidad que, hasta entonces, se había ignorado o minimizado.",
