I think you've read some great books that get to the heart of feminism, and a lot of the "must reads" that you haven't listed yet are more in the theory side of things. They're worth reading in themselves, but are less of a call to arms and more of an academic dissection of the whys and wherefores of the patriarchy. They're also where opinion starts to differ dramatically - particularly on where gender based oppressions intersect with race, class, sexuality. The next thing to read depends partly on your own politics.

Regarding black women feminist writers, I like Audre Lorde, but it really is dependent on your own ideological slant. She's a good bit more radical (and with that, controversial) than bell hooks.

I would consider myself quite radical, so I'll look into her!
