Reddit mentions of Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism

She's got the back-pedalling skills of a politician

• i did not ask for a fee
  
• okay, i asked for a fee
  
• fine, it was a high fee
  
• actually, i only asked because i didn't earn much
  
• you see, i asked a shit ton of fee to avoid these kind of attacks to me
  
  Edit: this is actually pretty rich knowing that she's a feminist against capitalism

I quite like Laurie Pennie's Meat Market. It's short, easy to read, and covers the most important bases of being female in the modern world.

Concerning introductory books, I'm better versed in German literature, but here are two books that might suit you:

• Laurie Penny: "Meat Market"; A quick and easy read, that gives a nice introduction to objectification and marketing of female bodies.
  
• Mimi Marinucci: "Feminism is Queer"; A short introduction to queer feminism, the intersection between feminism and queer theory. A bit more scholarly but still an accessible read.
  
  And just in case you can read German, I would heavily encourage you to read:
  
  
• Julia Korbik: "Stand Up"; A very comprehensive, accessible and furthermore damn pretty book about not only feminist thought, but also practical feminism.
  
  If you want a "real" scholarly book, there is incredibly much I could recommend. So if you have a specific area of interest, just ask.
  
  Personally I'd recommend most books by Judith/Jack Halberstam, I find them to be decently accessible, very relevant to both recent feminism as well as gender theory and with a heavy connection to pop culture, which makes them rather engaging.
  
  His/her most recent book, might be non-scholarly enough for you. In any case, I would heavily recommend it:
  
  
• Judith/Jack Halberstam: "Gaga Feminism"; An engaging view on pop culture and its interaction with queer narratives, before the backdrop of mainstream society.
  
  I hope that gives you a decent starting point.
