Caught Looking: Feminism, Pornography & Censorship
F.A.C.T. Book Committee
New York: Caught Looking, Inc., 1986.First edition, first printing, self published by the Feminist Anti-Censorship Taskforce Book Committee: Kate Ferguson Ellis, Nan D. Hunter, Beth Jaker, Barbara O’Dair, and Abby Tallmer. FACT formed as a group of feminists opposed to the anti-pornography ordinances written b Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon and in oppositions to the feminist group Women Against Pornography (WAP). Caught Looking is filled with images from 100 years of pornography accompanied by numerous essays providing a balanced view of feminism, pornography, and censorship exploring the questions: What is the role of sexually explicit language and images in women’s sexual arousal and pleasure? What role do images play in the control of women? How can the attempt to control women, which is at the heart of sexism, be most effectively subverted? Would violence diminish if violent images were removed from our culture? How can we incorporate our need for sexual speech and freedom of sexual expression into our feminist thinking and goals?
