Ruth K. Westheimer

Dr. Ruth was born in Germany, spent World War II in Switzerland (separated from her parents and grandparents) and at the age of 16 emigrated to Israel. In the 1950s she lived and studied in Paris, and in 1956 she moved to New York City, where she eventually got her PhD in Education. Advocating sex education, she started Sexually Speaking on the radio in 1980. Her bubbly personality, thick accent and frank advice about sex made her a celebrity. While continuing her private practice, Dr. Ruth has dispensed advice on TV, in newspaper columns and in books.
