Age-appropriate feminist books for 8th grader?

Seeking feminist book recommendations for my niece! She is 13 and a good reader. I would like to introduce her, in an age-appropriate way, to feminist ideas, but also to race, gender/sexuality and social justice issues.

Fiction is probably the best option, but open to non-fiction as well. She seems ready to learn about this: she is thinking about gender as a teenager watching her peers go through puberty, and noticing misogyny. I would love to give her some books that help her contextualize and interrogate her experiences, and give her the language to talk about these issues.

I am not sure if that's a very helpful prompt! I do not have children and its been a while since I was her age... plus I read a lot of age-inappropriate genre fiction as a teenager, and a lot of those themes were, in retrospect, pretty messed up.
