In 1963 Becker-Ho became involved in the Situationist International. She began what would be a long-lasting relationship with Guy Debord; they married August 5, 1972 and were together until his death in 1994. They co-authored Le Jeu de la Guerre (A Game of War) in 1987, an expanded edition of which was republished by éditions Gallimard, Paris, in 2006. An English edition appeared in 2008.

Becker-Ho has published several works of poetry in French: D'azur au triangle vidé de sable (Cognac: Le Temps qu'il fait, 2000); Paroles de Gitans (Paris: Albin Michel, 2000); and Au Pays du sommeil paradoxal (Cognac: Le Temps qu'il fait, 2000). She has also written a three-volume study of Western European slang. The first volume, Les Princes du Jargon (Paris: Gallimard, 1993), was translated into English as The Princes of Jargon by John McHale and published in 2004 by Edwin Mellen Press. The other two volumes, L’Essence du Jargon and Du Jargon, héritier en bastardie (Paris: Gallimard), have not appeared in English. She also authored Au Pays du Sommeil Paradoxal (translated as In Slumberpuzzleland) and Là s'en vont les seigneuries, an account of her travels with Guy Debord in Rello, Spain, with photos by Emmanuel Rioufol (2003).

Further works include 2004's Le premier ghetto ou l'exemplarité vénitienne, a book about the Venetian Ghetto, translated into English by John McHale and published by 1968 Press in 2022, and 2018's La part maudite dans l'œuvre de François Villon.

After Debord's death in 1994, Becker-Ho began the process of assembling and editing his letters. Starting in 1999, they were published by Fayard as eight volumes of Correspondance, the final volume appearing in 2010.
