A very accessible book is 'We Should All Be Feminists' by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It's a short, engaging read that clearly defines feminism. In terms of short stories, 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson can be considered. While not overtly feminist, it shows how society can be cruel to individuals, which can be related to the experience of women. Also, 'I'm Judging You: The Do - Better Manual' by Luvvie Ajayi is a book that has feminist undertones and is written in a very relatable style for new readers.

For beginners, 'The Awakening' by Kate Chopin is a great book. It tells the story of a woman who starts to break free from the constraints of society. As for short stories, 'Goblin Market' by Christina Rossetti can be a good start. It has themes of female friendship and resistance.

If you're just starting out, 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath is a well - known book that gives insights into the struggles of a young woman. For short stories, 'Blonde Roots' by Bernardine Evaristo presents an alternate world where the power dynamics between races are reversed, which can also be seen as a commentary on gender power dynamics. Another book, 'Half the Sky' by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, while co - written by a man, is very eye - opening about the global situation of women and can be a great introduction to feminist ideas.

"Just to really liven things up." Interviewer: "No, Immortal Zhou Li, I feel that you've done so much for humanity, for the Immortal Realm, and for Da Ming. Your purpose and starting point should be a bit more noble, such as...?" "Enough already, can't you see?
