What feminist books are recommended?

It is more appropriate to recommend Li Yinhe's Feminism as the first book to read. After reading this book, you will know how to choose other books.

First, this book is not subjective, and its content is roughly Li Yinhe's combing of the whole development process of feminism and the emergence/main viewpoints/representative figures/limitations of various schools. Very cost-effective. After reading it, you will have an overall understanding of the theoretical framework of feminism, which belongs to the level of "I can pretend to be forced even though I study less". Want to come to Zhihu to answer a question or fool a small partner.

Second, in the process of reading, you will come into contact with many different schools of thought, which is very convenient for you to find schools with similar views (if any) or theories you are interested in. You can trace back the works of those representative figures to supplement your understanding of this. In this way, along a line, you not only read the so-called works, but also follow your own interests, so that you can keep reading and have a higher sense of pleasure.

In addition, I think we can read some books about gender at the same time, such as Kinsey's sexology report, sex and personality, and the history of sex. In the translation order of these books, there are expressions similar to "laying the foundation for feminist theory". There is also "Gender War", which I haven't read yet, but after reading some excerpts from others, I think it should also be a very interesting book on gender, and the knowledge in it is simply refreshing.
