Looking for great books by women, racialized, or queer communities, possibly having real world problem applications

I just finished reading the Handmaids Tale and The Colour Purple as a 22 year old getting back into reading. I’m a social work and psychology major, so firsthand perspectives of groups facing marginalization particularly interest me. I also am interested in reading books that are artistic in their descriptions or themes, if that makes any sense.

I am open to fiction or non-fiction, but I like the storytelling vibe without too much academia (I read enough journal articles already). Open to classics or more niche modern suggestions. Thanks all:)
