I too am interested in books on feminism that might appeal to a LWer.

I tried researching this, but I found one easy failure mode is to find books based on the assumption that everyone knows what feminism is about and agrees 100%, and what the reader wants is a list of people who were feminists at various times in history.

The angle I was more interested in was "feminists believe X because Y", or "you, foolish person who is not a feminist, should be a feminist because Z".

Also interested in books that might appeal to a LWer. This Lukeprog post and comments from a while ago might be of interest.
