[From the Archives of Our Bodies, Our Blog](/blog)# "Yes Means Yes": All Aboard the Virtual Book Tour

By Christine Cupaiuolo • February 2, 2009

Please note: This entry -- originally posted at [Our Bodies, Our Blog](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/blog) -- has not been updated since the publication date listed above.

![](https://assets.ourbodiesourselves.org/images/blog-archive/yes_means_yes.jpg)It's about time we wrote about the new book "[Yes Means Yes](http://www.amazon.com/Yes-Means-Visions-Female-Without/dp/1580052576): Visions of Female Sexual Power & A World Without Rape."  
  
Featuring [more than two dozen essays](http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1580052576/ref=sib_dp_ptu#reader-link), "Yes Means Yes" breaks down attitudes toward rape and female sexuality while providing smart media analysis and commentary on current social and political issues, including funding for sex education, sexual violence against immigrant women, and the dangerous notion of "gray rape."  
  
"Yes Means Yes" is also [a blog](http://yesmeansyesblog.wordpress.com/), written by the book's contributors. Those contributors are appearing at readings around the country (check [upcoming events](http://yesmeansyesblog.wordpress.com/upcoming-events/) for the latest schedule) AND they're taking part in a virtual book tour that starts **today**.  
  
The first event is a live chat at [Feministing](http://www.feministing.com/) featuring the book's editors, Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti, and several contributors. The chat starts at 3 p.m. (EST).  
  
Below is the lineup for the full tour. Note that **Our Bodies Our Blog is scheduled to take part this Thursday, Feb. 5.** We'll hear from Brad Perry, sexual violence prevention coordinator at the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance, and Lisa Jervis, founding editor and publisher of [Bitch magazine](http://bitchmagazine.org/) (and writer and media advocate extraordinaire).
