This biography of the "sexologists" Masters and Johnson that lead to the hit tv series of the same name. It was interesting to learn more about their groundbreaking research and life in St. Louis. Equally interesting is their personal lives...before they became "Masters and Johnson" and eventually a married couple who may have been more focused on their professional life than their private life.
Even though some of their purported research was faulty, they still made huge steps forward understanding the actual biology of sex and take away the discomfort of talking about it, making sure people realize what an important role it plays in relationships.
I thought the book did a good job covering both people but was a little disappointed in the end where the focus seemed to be a little heavy on Johnson being alone and bitter. Oh well, not saying it isn't accurate, just not sure if it should define her.
