Hey WAMmers,

My review of Jaclyn Friedman's new book is published on rabble.ca here: http://rabble.ca/books/reviews/2011/11/what-you-really-really-want

Many thanks to WAM! Vancouver member and rabble managing editor Alex Samur for publishing the review. 

Im also resending the info about the book launch tomorrow at Little Sisters and the book synopsis that Natalie sent out earlier. Let us know if you'll be attending the launch as it could be an opportunity for us to promote our next conference!

Joanna

> Book synopsis:
> What You Really Really Want:
> The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety
> 
> How do I know if the person I’m flirting with is safe to date? What do I say to a friend who’s making questionable sexual choices? What if that friend is questioning my choices? How do I teach my kids to be safe and sane about sex without teaching them shame?
> 
> All women have questions at the intersections of sex and safety. And it’s no wonder: our culture bombards women and girls with mixed messages every day. We’re supposed to be innocent virgins who excel at stripper-pole workouts. We’re failures if we don’t act sexy, but we’re sluts if we actually pursue sex. We need to be protected from rapists lurking in bushes, but deserve “whatever we get” if we have a drink at a party and wear a skirt.
> 
> Jaclyn’s anthology Yes Means Yes laid out a vision of a world in which we all have the right to experience the pleasure of our bodies without shame, blame or fear. What You Really Really Want will help readers create that world for themselves, in their own lives. Using research, reality-based advice, revealing quizzes and creative exercises, 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 2011 – pre-order today!
