Green began her full time writing career in 1984. Her early works were marketed as similar to John Norman's Gor series,{{Cite web|url=http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/green_sharon|title = Authors : Green, Sharon : SFE : Science Fiction Encyclopedia}} but were actually intended as a rebuttal to Gor.{{Cite web|url=http://www.virtualpulp.net/2015/05/07/sexist-and-misogynist-but-chicks-loved-it/|title = John Norman and Sharon Green: Living Free Speech Martyrs | Virtual Pulp}} Green said that she set out first to lampoon Norman's Gor books by creating three-dimensional female characters and powerful female characters in similar fantasy settings.{{cite web |url=http://www.integritytech.com/sginterv.html |title=SG Personal Interview |website=www.integritytech.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224232326/http://www.integritytech.com/sginterv.html |archive-date=24 February 2012 |url-status=dead}} Throughout her career she focused on writing strong female characters.
