Since you mention critical theory, you could read Andrea Long's On Liking Women, a very provocative and engaging piece on feminism, trans feminism, and lesbian feminism (it also focuses on the tensions between these three currents)

On the other hand, you could also read the fierce Margaret Atwood's short story titled "Stone Mattress." It involves a critical examination of concepts such as justice, rehabilitation and what constitutes an appropriate response to sexual offences. It is, as most of her works, are immensely urgent.

Of course there is the canon: Judith Butler, Susan Hekman, Maria Mies, Vandana Shiva, Arundathi Roy, Luce Irigaray, etc.

Hope this helps!
