Long time lurker, first time poster here so bear with me!

I was hoping some of the knowledgeable posters here could point me in the right direction for some introduction to feminist literature/websites.

I've tried looking online, but a lot of what I'm coming across is very much centred towards liberal/intersectional feminism and a twaw narrative.

Had a really interesting discussion today with a younger relative who was trying to introduce me to Jordan Peterson theories. I feel like i gave her something to think about, but I find it quite hard to articulate my thoughts and having only really come to feminism via mumsnet, I'd like to give her some material that would explain things better than I can!

Thanks in advance.

Cats Eye by Margaret Atwood. Its a brilliant analysis of female friendships and the often strangely tender and intimate bond between a female abuser and her female victim. Every woman will read this and recognise some aspect. I am feeling very reflective at the moment about the nature of female abuse, following a talk by Jo Bartosch at the Make More Noise event last Saturday.
