"This is tougher than it would seem. What on reddit is pejoratively referred to as the SJW movement is actually a number of different movements with different histories, strategies, and goals. Most of the vitriol is directed at the women's rights/feminist movement, followed by the LGBT rights movement. However, beyond that you have rights movements for people of color, immigrants, the poor, the disabled, youth, etc. I haven't been as current on the literature in the last 5 or so years, so I can't recommend anything that directly covers the reddit-type issues, but here are a couple books I found valuable in my study of LGBT/Women's movements. **LGBT:** Urvashi Vaid - *Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay and Lesbian Liberation* **Women's Rights:** Debra Rowland - *The Boundaries of Her Body: The Troubling History of Women's Rights in America* I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, so I hope others with more current/relevant sources respond." - Kevin Bondelli
