Almoghrabi has been publishing her work in Libyan newspapers since 1991 and was managing editor for a cultural magazine called Horizons.

Her novel Women of Wind (Nisa al rih), in which a Moroccan servant in Tripoli seeks a smuggler to arrange her passage to Europe, was longlisted for the Arabic Booker Prize (International Prize for Arabic Fiction) in 2011. In 2015, Almoghrabi was recognized with an Oxfam Novib/PEN Award for her efforts at freedom for writers and journalists in Libya. Almoghrabi organized Tripoli's first women's rights conference in 2012, and signed a Statement of Solidarity with the women of Syria, at the Forum on Women’s Rights, Peace and Security in Istanbul. In 2013 she spoke before the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women about women's rights in Libya. Her public feminism, including her choice not to wear a veil, has made her the target of death threats and religious violence; in 2013 the entrance to her home was shot at by several members of the militia.
