I’m looking for books which will introduce me to the feminist movement since I’ve only recently started actively following and pursuing feminist goals.

Thank you!

The Second Sex by Simone DeBeauvoir is foundational. In the second wave of feminism, important books were and are: Sisterhood is Powerful; The Female Eunuch (Germaine Greer); Notes from the Third Year. Also The Feminine Mystique (Be
Betty Friedan) as mentioned by Mara (above). All classics.
