A classic from the 1970s... Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. I haven't read it yet, but I do remember feminist being rather upset at the portrayal of women after the cataclysm.
One I did read I can recommend is 'One Second After'. The author tries to paint a realistic scenario after just about every electronic devise in the USA and Canada is fried by a nuke induced EMP. William R. Forstchen wrote the book as a warning, in the hopes that our government would take steps to guard against an EMP attack. Spoiler: A brutal gang with a messiah like leader takes over a region, women are reduced to basically being property. Which is what you would expect in a world where civilization collapses.
