Background / Biography: SAMOIS was is / "a group of feminist lesbians who share a positive interest in sadomasochism. Some of us have been involved in S/M for many years. Others experience S/M primarily on a fantasy level. ... We believe that sadomasochists area an oppressed sexual minority. Our struggle deserves the recognition and support of other sexual minorities and oppressed groups. We believe that S/M can and should be consistent with the principles of feminism. As feminists, we oppose all forms of social hierarchy based on gender. As radical perverts, we oppose all social hierarchies based on sexual preference." (from inside back cover) Reviews: "a brave attempt to explore this subject" Lisa Orlando, Gay Community News "I cannot overestimate the pioneering nature of Coming to Power" Victoria Ramstetter, Dinah / Lesbian Activist Bureau, Cincinnati "Besides the political essays and humor, Coming to Power also contains some of the finest quality writing you're likely to come across these days." Sandy B, Atalanta/Newsletter of the Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance "it's the best thing that has been published on feminist theory / practice in a long, long time."

Quote from this book "that's a problem with S/M. Ignorance & assumptions are widespread while information & personal testimony are either not easly available or ignored. So the myths keep getting circulated & the insults keep coming & I have had it. I am tired of other dykes' fear and cruelty & willful stupidity being turned against me & being held at fault for their desire to victimize someone. " Secondhand booksellers |
