5.0 out of 5 stars Destined to be a Classic, August 1, 2003
By Todd Hawley (San Francisco CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This "sequel" to the excellent Coming to Power which appeared in the mid 1990s picks up where Coming to Power left off and gives the reader an idea of how far the woman's leather community has come since the early 1980s and at the same time how far it still must go to gain acceptance outside its own community. It also details how fragmented its own community is, but then again this is true of all parts of the leather community; het, gay, bi, transgendered, and/or lesbian.

Filled with hot fiction, poetry, and some well-written non-fiction essays on various SM topics, I found this book to be informative and thought-provoking, even if it is now a bit dated. Of note too are the excellent essays on histories of various US women's groups featured in the book's last section. This is a book any leather community member with an interest in our past and present should read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original, June 10, 2003

This second "coming to power" book about lesbian SM has a lot of fiction in it and I was disappointed. There are lots of fiction collections of lesbian SM but the first "Coming to Power" was ground breaking because it tackled SM in a straight forward and honest yet controversal way when the debate about SM, lesbians, and feminism was first raging loudly. The stories are great and the articles are wonderful I was just hoping for the same sort of information as the first book. Perhaps the first did so well with communicating its message, that the second could me more varied.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for begginers and profetionals as well, February 21, 1999
By A Customer
The book has 3 major parts: - short stories: - poems and - articals. I found the articals being the most interesting and mind-opener part in the book.It give the reader both a personal-expiriance view and the academic - politic view. To me the book gave a lot to think about , let alone dreem...
