On this episode of WYP we look back at the life of a legend, Dr. Ruth.  Karola Ruth Siegel on June 4, 1928, in Wiesbaden, Germany, lived a life full of fascinating twists. As a Jewish child fleeing Nazi Germany, she was sent to a Swiss orphanage during WWII. Post-war, she moved to Israel and became a sniper for the Haganah—talk about a dramatic start! In the 1950s, Dr. Ruth moved to the U.S. and took a unique path into sexual health. Her radio show “Sexually Speaking” in the 1980s made her a household name with her no-nonsense, yet warm and funny approach to sex and relationships. She also made big waves at Planned Parenthood, where she championed sexual health education. Even in her 90s, she kept sharing her wisdom through numerous books and television appearances until her passing on June 26, 2023. She is one of our major inspirations and we hope you love her too! “The more we learn about our bodies, the more we understand that sex is a natural part of who we are.”
