Typology of feminism

[altariel]

So, in undergraduate textbooks and so on, you tend to see feminism taught as being one of "three types": liberal feminism, socialist feminism, radical feminism. Does anyone have any idea where this typology came from? Rough date, origin(ator), etc.?

Interesting...we tend to often classify as first, second, third, which I first saw in Kristeva's Women's Time...I wonder how well the two align (though while the liberal lines up with first, I think socialist and radical might both be second with third being all about constructed gender, gender trouble, transgender theory etc)

[ok, weird icon, but it's the only kristeva i have :-)]

Thanks! I know the first wave etc. one too. This does work quite well in that I'll trying to map relationships between stances to particular bits of workplace legislation, etc.
