Coming to Power

Coming to Power - Writing and graphics on Lesbian S/M (ISBN 0-932870-28-7) was a 1981 book edited by members of the lesbian/feminist S/M organisation SAMOIS.

It reached a world-wide audience the following year when it was reprinted by Alyson Publications. The book alternates short stories with advice on techniques, a model that has been used by various other BDSM books since then.

A sequel The Second Coming: A Leatherdyke Reader was published in 1996, edited by Pat Califia and Robin Sweeney.
