Do you mean feminist sf or sf in general? Ursula LeGuin's Left Hand of
Darkness would be on both lists for me. For feminist sf I would read Sheri
Tepper, Octavia Butler, Joanna Russ. I don't know which books in particular:
maybe Sheri Tepper's The Gate to Women's Country. Also read Marion Zimmer
Bradley's The Mists of Avalon if you haven't already and you like fantasy.
There's also a collection of stories by James Tiptree, Jr. (a woman's pen
name) called "Her Smoke Rises Up Forever."
