Books on Queer Theory, Feminism etc.

[Brosa Luxemburg]

So recently I just realized I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever on queer theory, feminism, etc. I have literally about no knowledge on the history of these movements, thought behind the ideas, etc. I would like to get some suggested reading materials on these subjects, particularly from a Marxist and leftist point of view. Anything will help. Thanks.

I've read The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvior, a Materialist (Marxian) Feminist. I'd recommend it.
Angela Davis is also really good.

Judith Butler's Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity is good. I also like Evelyn Reed's Is Biology Woman's Destiny? (http://www.marxists.org/archive/reed-evelyn/1971/biology-destiny.htm).
