 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. NPOV. Earwig and spot checking found no significant close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. Hook will be interesting to a general audience, and checks out with the inline cites. Article is well-cited throughout. Excellent work as part of the BBC #100womenwiki editathon!
