Coming to Power: Writings and Graphics on Lesbian S/M is a 1981 book edited by members of the lesbian feminist S/M organisation Samois. It is an anthology of lesbian S/M writings.[1] It was a founding work of the lesbian BDSM movement.
It was quickly out-of-print[2] and reached a worldwide audience the following year when it was reprinted by Alyson Publications.[2] 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.
Many of the authors in Coming to Power characterise sadomasochism as the epitome of eroticism.[3]
It is described in Coming on Strong: Gay Politics and Culture as containing lesbian erotica.[4]
