Dines was born into one of an Orthodox Jewish family in Manchester, England, and attended King David School. At the age of 18 after having read Robert Morgan’s novel Sisterhood is Powerful (1970) She renounced Orthodox Judaism and became a radical feminist. She later described her connection to feminism “a passionate love affair”. In 2011, she spoke about the attraction of radical feminism “After teaching women for 20-odd years, if I go in and I teach liberal feminism, I get looked [at] blank … I go in and teach radical feminism, bang, the room explodes. … I remember what happened to me the first time I read radical feminism. I remember thinking: ‘I have been waiting for this my entire life, and I didn’t even know I was waiting for it.”

In 1980 , at the age of 22, Dines and Levy moved to Israel. There she co- founded an organization for women, Isha L’isha (“Woman to Woman”) and declared itself in 2018 to be “the oldest grassroots feminist organization in Israel” and was involved with research conducted at The University of Haifa into violence against women. She began her PhD thesis when she was volunteering at an adolescent rape center, after having a look at pornography in an event in Haifa organized through Women Against Pornography. On the next day, she informed her thesis adviser she was planning do a dissertation about pornography “I literally couldn’t believe the images. I couldn’t believe that men created such images, and that other men wanted to watch them.”

In 2007, Dines wrote an article on the Duke lacrosse case in which she suggested “we should put some of the focus back on the men in this case”. Writer Cathy Young criticised what she saw as Dines’ double-standards, stating “the same feminists who rightly tell us that a rape victim should not have to be an angel to deserve support apply such a different standard to men who may be falsely accused of rape”.
