Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape is a feminist non-fiction book edited by Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti, published in 2008. The book was one of Publishers Weekly's 99 Best Books of 2009 and inspired a sexual education non-credit course at Colgate University.[1][2] The title refers to the popular, "Yes Means Yes" affirmative consent campaign against date rape, which calls for sexual participants to obtain a declaration of consent, "yes", to each sexual act or escalation.
Contributors to the anthology include: Rachel Kramer Bussel, Hanne Blank, Margaret Cho, Heather Corinna, Stacey May Fowles, Coco Fusco, Lisa Jervis, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Julia Serano. The book consists of a series of essays by various authors, which share the central theme of preventing rape by addressing the sociocultural milieu that the authors argue is complicit in enabling sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape. Sexual consent, body image, self-esteem, and sexual violence are discussed throughout the essays.[3]
