So my partner has made it clear I need to do some self improvement, especially on empathy and understanding what it is that women go through.
Any suggestions?
Might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but The Will to Change by bell hooks might be a good place to start.
Not explicitly feminist but I’d throw trans liberation beyond pink and blue on your list
I read a few books by Nigerian feminist author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Americanah and "We should all be feminists." They were good.
I don't know if it fulfills what your partner is looking for, but Angela Y Davis's Women, Race, and Class is a great read. Also there's a pretty good podcast by Kristen Ghodsee called AK47 in which she delves into the works of Socialist woman's activist Alexandra Kollontai.
