[Wamvan] My review of What You Really Want by WAM! Founder for rabble.ca/ reminder about tomorrow's book launch

Sun Nov 6 14:28:06 PST 2011

Yup, already "Liked," but if there are any WINGS events happening in
Vancouver, or volunteer or work opportunities, could you let us know on the
listserv, too? I get so many facebook updates it's hard to catch
everything.

Thanks,

Joanna

>>>> How do I know if the person I’m flirting with is safe to date? What do

>>>> All women have questions at the intersections of sex and safety. And

>>>> Jaclyn’s anthology *Yes Means Yes* laid out a vision of a world in

>>>> *What You Really Really Want* will show readers the way to separate
>>>> fear from fact, decode the dangerous messages all around us, and discover a
>>>> healthy personal sexuality. We’ll build new skills for safely expressing
>>>> that sexuality with lovers, explore effective ways to talk about tricky
>>>> issues with family and friends, and learn how to make the world a little
>>>> safer for everyone else’s sexuality along the way. Coming November
