Primarily, she does work in visual cultures and the politics of spatiality, but certainly her critique is always inflected by a committed feminist perspective and may dovetail with your own concerns re: reading practices. I think the first piece I was exposed to by Morris was "Things to Do With Shopping Malls" (title may be off somewhat), which is readily available in several sources. And of course there's always Donna Haraway's work which is strongly feminist (and post-structuralist)--her "famous" "A Manifesto for Cyborgs" certainly considers in part the role of feminist science fiction (eg, works by Octavia Butler) in the late 80s and some of her recent work may be of interest to you (she has a relatively new book out her in the US--I think by Routledge).
