The height of feminist knitting has to be this knitted Womb1> by MK Carroll on Knitty. Shock the public by knitting it on the bus, cuddle up to it at bedtime or make one for a pregnant friend. It's a long way from baby blankets!

Save Knitting is an awesome website that teaches knitting techniques and stitches. The members of the site can improve it by editing it and adding their own information.
I particularly like the section that teaches stitching through animations.

microRevolt is a knitting project targeted against brands that use sweatshop labour. They aim to get the message out by knitting garments with the offending companies' signature logos and their latest project was a petition against Nike, where petitioners would send in hand-knitted squares to represent their signatures. The squares where attached together to produce a 14-foot knit banner of the Nike swoosh. The banner was then presented to Nike Chairman, Phil Knight.
To take part in their future protests and craft against evil, check out their website.
