The power
Basically a fiction where every woman in the world develops electric powers. The author things that would give women the monopoly of violence and forgets guns exist.
A boy and his dog at the end of the world
A boy and his sister leave their island to the crater of human civilization. It’s really boring and the message is men whether they’re animal or human, and inherently selfish.

Murderbot Diaries is both leftist and feminist. In book 2, there’s not a single male named character with a speaking part.

The Power by Naomi Alderman, definitely feminist. All about the shift in power in society when women suddenly develop a physical power that men don’t have.
Lady Astronaut series is left and feminist.

Almost forgot the one I just read: The Guncle and the sequel The Guncle Abroad.
