Dear Sue,

Just off the top of my head, you might try exploring some of Meaghan
Morris' stuff--she's a very interesting Australian feminist critic doing
work in Cultural Studies.  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).
