Among the principal teshuvot (responsa) concerning egalitarianism are those written by Rabbi David Golinkin and Rabbi Steve Wald. It is worth studying these in the original Hebrew, as the English versions available are actually only summaries.
Teshuvot by Rabbi Golinkin:
Women in minyan and as prayer leaders
Women as Torah readers (and taking aliyot)
Women saying mourner's kaddish
Several short booklets based in part on Rabbi Golinkin's writings are available through the Schechter Institute in Israel. Here are links to the first two pamphlets available on-line:
Contact Rabbi Golinkin at golinkin@schechter.org.il.
For Rabbi Wald's teshuva, contact the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem or email yeshcon@netvision.net.il.
An excellent resource about women reading Torah in the context of an Orthodox service is R' Mendel Shapiro's article in the Edah Journal: http://www.edah.org/backend/JournalArticle/1_2_shapiro.pdf
