The story refered to by Mark F. Flynn about the colony in which a plague
killed all the men, and thirty generations later the colony is rediscovered
(by men) is called "When it Changed" by Joanna Russ. It is in the recent
collection of her short stories called The Zanzibar Cat, from Baen Books.
Some good books with strong female protagonists (does that count as feminist) e:
Titan by John Varley
Juniper Time by Kate Wilhelm
Emergence by David R Palmer
In the Hands of Glory by Phyllis Eisenstein
Rite of Passage by Alexi Panshin
I would also recommend The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursela K. LeGuin as
an excellent look at the role of gender in society.
