the will to change by bell hooks and trans liberation: beyond pink and blue by les feinberg 
are practically required reading for hexbears
links to old book club announcement threads for those two:
I've now read both of these because of recommendations here. Great books.
I was recently recommended Enemy Feminisms by Sophie Lewis and am maybe hijacking this thread to see if anyone has thoughts in whether this is a good book to read.
Feminism has a very encompassing definition, and tends to shift focus throughout the decades. From a leftist perspective feminism is foundational if we ever want to achieve class consciousness and workers solidarity. In every disadvantaged ethnic minority group that capitalism preys upon, there is an even more disadvantaged subgroup of women within that group being marginalized. Theoretically, protecting the people most marginalized by society provides an umbrella of protection for those less marginalized.
The following authors are socialist/Marxist who write about feminism and how the oppression of women is interconnected with capitalism.
Ehrenreich, Barbara (1971). The American Health Empire: Power, Profits, and Politics.
Davis, Angela (1981) Women, Race and Class
Fraser, Nancy (1989). Unruly practices: power, discourse, and gender in contemporary social theory
Federici, Silvia (2004) Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation
Zillah R. Eisenstein (1978) Capitalist Patriarchy and the Case for Socialist Feminism
Just listen to this and get hyped
