Reddit reviews Bitterblue (Graceling Realm)

Kristin Cashore's Graceling and Fire both have young-adult female protagonists and pretty overt feminist themes. (I'm guessing the same is true of her third book though I haven't read it.)

Graceling is about a woman seeking independence from men who try to control her. Fire is about a woman who can control people's minds to an extent and has supernatural beauty. Her appearance causes most straight men who see her to either lust after her or hate her. It's used as an allegory for things like catcalling and rape culture.

Both books involve sex scenes which, according to reviews and my memory, are tasteful and not too graphic. You can read them and decide for yourself if they're appropriate for an 11 year old.
