One thing I would strongly recommend is being wary of anything that is second wave feminism or earlier. The majority of 1st and 2nd wave western feminist movements were white and cishet centered. They were largely focused on getting access to the power structures of patriarchy and imperialism for white cishet women instead of true liberation.
There are also a lot of issues in second wave feminism around viewing masculinity and men as somehow inherently evil, which is total bullshit and leads to bizarre reactionary concepts like "political lesbianism" and TERFs.
I'm sure there is some interesting work in there if you can read it critically, but I view it as having minimal modern use in comparison to modern intersectional feminism.
You're welcome! That's definitely a summarized explanation, but I want to make sure you engage with theory understanding that context. Unsurprisingly, intersectionality is essential for liberation.
