Here are some books that might be of interest:
(Also there are like a dozen different memoirs and histories of the Weather Underground for some reason. David Gilbert's memoir Love and Struggle is the most recent of these; it's a quick read and very engaging.)
Enlightened Sexism and Where the Girls Are by Susan Douglas.
[Both focus on feminism as portrayed in the media, the first book is more current. Her writing style is funny and easy to read]
The World Split Open by Ruth Rosen
[A good readable history of the women's movement in the 1960s-70s]
Backlash by Susan Faludi
[really clear explanation about the antifeminist messages, esp. in the media; first published in 1991 but most of those messages are still around]
These are my picks— Susan Douglas is a special favorite among students in the US women's history classes I've been a TA for. (History and the role of the media go a long way towards explaining the state of women's rights issues today).
You're probably right in most contexts, but (according to the account of the author of this book, which I had to read for one of my classes) there was a point where political lesbianism was something of a thing. It's actually a really interesting account of the development of the feminist movement.
