Dear Library of Congress, please add cross references to -WAVE FEMINISMS

This post is part of the Radical Reference Library of Congress Subject Heading Suggestion Blog-a-Thon.

While I am over the top that you have adopted the -WAVE FEMINISM headings, I think you could do better on the references. Per my blog post comment of February 2008, this is what I suggest...

This is sort of what I imagine LCSH for the three waves of feminism would look like:

FIRST-WAVE FEMINISM
BT Feminism
RT Women's suffrage
RT Second-Wave Feminism
RT Third-Wave Feminism

SECOND-WAVE FEMINISM
UF Women's liberation
UF Vagina art (just kidding!)
BT Feminism
RT First-Wave Feminism
RT Third-Wave Feminism

THIRD-WAVE FEMINISM
BT Feminism
RT Riot grrrl movement
RT First-Wave Feminism
RT Third-Wave Feminism

And while you're at it, please add the "ist" terms, as well as the "isms."

FIRST-WAVE FEMINISTS
UF Suffragettes
BT Feminists
RT Suffragists
RT Second-Wave Feminists
RT Third-Wave Feminists

SECOND-WAVE FEMINISTS
BT Feminists
RT First-Wave Feminists
RT Third-Wave Feminists

THIRD-WAVE FEMINISTS
BT Feminists
RT First-Wave Feminists
RT Third-Wave Feminists
