However you start informing yourself about feminism and politics will serve you well, start off with general knowledge/a historical overview (wiki if you must), maybe a book about the history of feminism worldwide, etc. For more in detail stuff you've already been provided fantastic recs in this post, I see. :-)

The most pressing thing that I see weighing on you is your FIL basically sexually harassing you and the lack of support from your partner. You absolutely should not be around that man, reject your SO's attempts to "keep the peace" or for you to meet for any reason (miss family get togethers if you must) and get him into therapy for childhood abuse. My father was/is abusive and I cut all contact with him, despite my mother always badgering me to "just get along with him". You may love someone and they may love you, but you cannot let yourself be manipulated into dangerous (for your mental or physical health) situations.
