Revolutionary sex therapist Dr Ruth dead at 96


Dr Ruth, the legendary sex therapist who revolutionised the way the world talked about sex and sexuality, has died at the age of 96, her publicist has confirmed

Standing a petite 4ft 7in, Dr Ruth was acclaimed for transforming how we communicate about sex and sexuality, propelling the 'sexpert' field forward, though she modestly declared herself a "square". Ruth then went on to achieve her doctorate from Columbia University and spread the word about sex education at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, as well as enlightening the women at Planned Parenthood. Ruths estimated net worth, a nifty $3 million or more, was sweetened through her bestselling book roster, with titles like 'Sex for Dummies', 'All in a Lifetime', and 'Musically Speaking: A Life Through Song' under her belt.
