Dr. Ruth has passed away at the age of 96, but will offer advice from beyond the grave

Throughout her career, Ruth advocated open dialogue on once-taboo topics, emphasizing the importance of addressing issues that affect millions of people without shame.

Despite her small stature and giggly voice, Westheimer’s extensive knowledge, combined with humor and non-judgmental guidance, propelled her into the national spotlight through her radio program, “Sexually Speaking.”

The sex therapist’s work extended beyond the airwaves, as she authored more than forty books, including “Dr. Ruth’s Guide to Good Sex’, demystifying sex with both rationality and humor.

In light of the AIDS epidemic, Westheimer’s candid discussions became a necessity, allowing her to bring crucial topics to mainstream audiences.
