What I discovered in American libraries and archives was that-much like women’s history-the history of feminisms has never been accorded a place in existing taxonomies of knowledge. In libraries, for instance, whether under the older Dewey Decimal System or the now hegemonic Library of Congress classification system, there is still no separate classification for feminism, as there has long been for male-dominated sociopolitical movements-socialism, anarchism, communism, and so on. Socialism, for example, is classified under the category “J,” for political science, while “women” are lumped together as “HQ,” under “H” for social sciences. One can locate books about feminism and other, parallel women’s movements scrambled together with a wide range of other studies under the “social science” category “Women,” but they also can be found, somewhat randomly, under many and varied rubrics among the humanities (including literature, music, and the arts) and social sciences (sociology, anthropology, psychology), as well as in specialized libraries on law, medicine, biology, business, economics, education, or on war and peace. In short, materials concerning men’s sociopolitical movements and issues have been far more deliberately and carefully classified.
