Hey! I'm looking for a leftist book about feminism from a socialist or communist perspective. My wife really wants to learn more about this stuff, and I have no idea what would be a cool, readable introduction into the topic

My wife really wants to learn more about this stuff, and I have no idea what would be a cool, readable introduction into the topic The Social Basis of the Woman Question by Alexandra Kollontai, 1909 Why Women Had Better Sex Under Socialism By Kristen R. Ghodsee There's a book with the same name by the same author. Edit: sorry on my phone at work, I should explain I picked these two because Kollontai does a very good job explaining class and what separates working women from petit and grand bourgeois women. Before the USSR is established, she talks about the kinds of policies socialism would need to actually help women, and by extension workers in general. She's also a very interesting and accomplished person who deserves more exposure. Her analysis shows that Marxism beats intersectionality at its own game. I picked the second one by Ghodsee because it looks back at decades of socialist family and women's policy in retrospect, using interviews with the women impacted by them. I haven't read the book yet but I've listened to interviews with her and it sounds scholarly without being so tankie that it would be off-putting to someone who hasn't yet realized Stalin was a good man.

I would like to do something like this again, maybe at some point in the future. Outside of actually being very bad at this do any of you have any feedback? Any suggestions for books to read in the future?
