 * ... that commentators, including Rebecca Solnit, called 2014 a watershed year for women's rights?

 * I'm not sure what the answer is here but right now the article is massively biassed towards the positive, being based on an assemblage of news stories hooked to a couple of op-eds. I've left a few notes at Talk:Women's_rights_in_2014, albeit UK-centric. I don't know if POV is an issue for DYK, so this is just a heads-up. - Sitush (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've not read all of the sources but I do note that Solnit says in one of them that "In the end, this struggle over the meaning of one man's killing spree may prove to be a watershed moment in the history of feminism" (my emphasis) and "It was, like the post-Isla Vista weekend, a watershed moment in which the conversation changed, in which those who got it pushed hard on those who didn't, opening some minds and updating some ideas." which are not quite the same as what the hook says. What source are we using that links her to the hook? - Sitush (talk) 17:53, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
