minus-squareLeninsBeard [he/him]hexbear12·2 years agoJust looking at my bookshelf: Women, Race and Class and Whipping Girl have both been mentioned but I'll reiterate those. All of Alexandra Kollontai's writings are really good, if a bit outdated in terms of sex work and women's roles as mothers. Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale by Maria Mies is a good intro to Marxist feminism Ain't I a Woman by Bell Hooks is a good black feminist perspective, as is Sister Outsider by Audre Lord Leslie Feinberg's works are all great, and while they're focused on trans issues they intersect a lot with feminism. link
