So many, but that's a really really wide topic and also different "levels" and I don't know if you're looking for introductions or for very specific stuff!

Here's a small selection of things I enjoyed reading, though:

Books

Nonfiction

  • Pretty much everything by bell hooks, especially Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center for a general overview and The will to change specifically aimed at men
  • The Guilty Feminist (also a podcast)
  • Whipping Girl, specifically about trans women

Fiction

  • The first woman, on the birth of modern feminism in Uganda
