I wanted to know if any of you knows any good (english or german) feminist literature. Preferable from a revolutionary point of view. Since the feminist movement in my area is as dead as could be, we have kind of a problem finding anything good. If that situation is better where you life, link me up!

And please, I can google myself I want information from people who actually read a book / article and liked it

You know, the other day I just picked up a compilation of essays called The Feminist Papers (http://www.amazon.com/Feminist-Papers-Adams-Beauvoir/dp/1555530281), which basically surveys the whole women's liberation movement since the 18th century. There's a section of it that deals with women and socialism, which includes essays by Marx, Engels, Bebel and Kollontai. Check it out if you'd like, it's also on Google Books:

Because I'm reading bell hooks at the moment, I'd recommend Ain't I a Woman as a good book about revolutionary black feminism.
