Rather, Dworkin’s 1981 book, Pornography: Men Possessing Women, in which she critiques both Sade and Carter, does not precede Carter’s own 1979 work. It is a misconception that “feminist” reappraisals of Sade were in response to Dworkin; instead, they preceded her, including Simone de Beauvoir and Angela Carter, and Dworkin responded to them.).

The Sadeian Woman and the Ideology of Pornography is a 1978 non-fiction book by Angela Carter. The book is a feminist re-appraisal of the work of the Marquis de Sade, a work later criticized by the radical feminist theorist Andrea Dworkin in her 1981 book Pornography: Men Possessing Women. Unlike Dworkin, Carter sees de Sade as being the first writer to see women as more than mere breeding machines, as more than just their biology and, as such, finds him liberating.[1]
