During the late 1970s and 1980s, Dworkin became known as a spokeswoman for the feminist anti-pornography movement, and for her writing on pornography and sexuality, particularly Pornography: Men Possessing Women (1981) and Intercourse (1987), which remain her two most widely known books.
I slutningen af 1970'erne og 1980'erne blev hun kendt som talskvinde for den feministiske bevægelse mod pornografi og for hendes værker om pornografi og seksualitet, især Pornography: Men Possessing Women (1981) og Intercourse (1987), hendes to bedst kendte bøger.
