In this text, Nadine Strossen challenges the pro-censorship feminists, in particular Catherine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin and argues for free speech about sex and the free use of sexual imagery. She contends that this aspect of modern feminism is leading to many absurdities and a supression of modern liberties and that censoring pornography will not reduce discrimination or violence against women. Strossen shows in some detail how, throughout history, obscenity laws have been used to control and undermine women and she makes a case for the co-existence of free speech and women's rights.
