Apparently in 1980, Linda Marchiano (Lovelace) published a book named Ordeal..
http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013/aug/22/lovelace-review
The film is based on this book, but its publicity material states more broadly that it is taken from her life story as well as that of Catherine MacKinnon, one of the feminist writers with whom Linda came to be associated in the 1980s. Oddly, however, the film does not dramatise Linda Marchiano's association with the feminist movement, or her later complaint that feminists had themselves used her name and her personal pain for their own career purposes.

Mackinnon?..Figures. The anti porn crowd using Marchiano to further their own agenda? Who would have ever thunk it?
