The Saga of Pliocene Exile series, and associated Galactic MIlieu books by Julian May.

Are those the ones with the portal from the future that people keep going through, only to be captured by evil elves? Or am I thinking of another female fantasy writer from that era?

Nope, that's basically the plot!

Oh, good stuff. It's been decades since I was doing pulp fantasy/scifi binges and I'm genuinely surprised I remembered that. The title of the first one just came back to me too- Golden Torc, if anyone's sees this and is interested.
