Hi Anna! I really like the article, and I applaud you for writing an article from scratch about a woman who clearly deserves to be represented on Wikipedia. I'll jump right in with the lead. In general I think the lead is really well done. It is punchy, to the point, and clearly communicates the essential information about Ferreras. I think it wouldn't hurt to add another sentence or two to the lead just to describe Ferreras's primary areas of focus and the significance/focus of her work, but otherwise I think this is pretty much spot on (at least according to my understanding of what leads are supposed to be).

The Background and Education section is useful, although I think it would be helpful to include a little more information (i.e. when did she start in her current roles, where is she from, etc.). The work section is also very well done. You communicate her central ideas very concisely and clearly. I think it might be useful to situate her work within the broader scholarship around the topic. For instance, It might be useful to know some of the main thinkers and ideas that she is responding to, and what other ideas/scholars relate most closely to her work. I guess for both of these sections, what's there is good, and more information couldn't hurt!

In terms of general notes, I think your article certainly seems neutral and balanced, which I know are priorities for Wikipedia. Everything is up to date, and your article does not take a stance on the content, instead presenting it clearly and directly, which is great. I also know there is a broad effort to add articles about women who have made or are making significant contributions to academia onto Wikipedia, so this article is a good push against some of the sites broader representation gaps. I do think it might be worth going through and seeing if there's any more links to other pages that you can add, especially links to any articles about the concepts she works with, as that might make the article more discoverable.

There are two messages on the page as it shows up on the main site mentioning that the topic may not be notable, and that the sources may be too close to the subject itself. I think you could probably resolve these error messages--and probably strengthen the article itself--by digging up a few more secondary sources about Ferreras. I'm not sure what's out there, but I imagine there are probably a few brief biographies that aren't from her website which you could cite. It also might help clear up these error messages if you look for some reviews or secondary discussions of Ferreras' work by other scholars and integrate them in to this article somehow.

If that doesn't work to resolve the wikipedia error messages, or if those secondary discussions just aren't really out there, then honestly I don't personally think it's worth worrying about. The article is well written and useful, and Ferreras seems really really cool and well deserving of an article on here. If she is not "notable" enough for Wikipedia then that's their problem as far as I can tell.

Overall, great work! I think more information throughout the article, and a little more background to help situate Ferreras and her work would be interesting, but what you have here is super useful already!

(p.s. You could also add a picture!)
