This Helena Kennedy? https://www.theguardian.com/law/2021/feb/22/ill-set-no-limits-on-which-women-to-protect-from-hate-says-helena-kennedy the "all women" meaning men too Helena Kennedy?

Mary Harringtons Feminism Against Progress is excellent for where we are right now and where we are going

Yes, that very dissapointing Helena Kennedy. The cases still happened and the women involved are women, rather than men larping as women. I think the evidence and discussion of misogyny in our legal system is important. If there is an equivalent replacement book I would recommend that instead, but I don’t know of one. Very open to suggestions.

And there's this resource on second wave feminism too.

Every woman should read 'The Female Eunuch'.
Very easy reading (unlike some of the more academic suggestions above, which I well remember starting and abandoning in my youth).

Seriously? The woman who thinks contraception ruins sex? I hope she has the cure for HIV, syphilis and herpes tucked away somewhere.

I'm fascinated by the idea that someone can actually read the book and not recognise there is some value in the nuanced points she raises.

The value of her points is that they are a bait-and-switch for some really, really nasty stuff about ethno-supremacy. Have you even seen her Twitter?

Not sure who cooked the Last Supper (good guess, the women who were also at the table since a Passover meal is not male only) but Mary Magdalen and Mary Salome probably paid for it. Quite likely a room in a house they owned, too.

Intriguingly, “she who walks on water” was one of the names used to describe the mother-deity who was worshipped by the people who wrote the Old Testament, before she was erased. I do wonder whether the cult that became Christianity was, in its earliest form, a revival of old forms of mother-worship. There’s so much in there about looking after the vulnerable. Quite a lot of the macho stuff was added on later, by Paul.
