I don’t know much about feminism, but the “waves” model seems clumsy for describing at least the development of the philosophy. Perhaps it works for the politics. The philosophy seems to have developed more like parallel lineages with continuity of ideas across generations.

the waves model captures that there are multiple feminisms existing alongside one another, and sometimes disagreeing on key points. do you have a timeline that includes kristeva or irigiray?

I don't know anything about them. Would take a feminism scholar to test whether a timeline organization works better than a waves organization. To me, a waves organization seems to be by era/generation. Cohort based rather than genealogically based.

yeah, i think part of the waves model is to trying to capture that different generations of feminist scholars had different preoccupations and were working with different cultural theorists. i read „a room of one‘s own“ over the weekend and Woolf‘s sex-essentialism is v. outdated
