Article Evaluation

 * More citations are needed; many claims are made without citations
 * The tone does not appear to be entirely neutral, as it utilizes language such as "perfect", implying some bias (whether intentional or not)
 * The article could use more in-depth explanation of the topic, and more examples; does not seem to be a completely finished article

Contributions to Article

 * I plan to add more citations, and possibly improve upon/enhance the current descriptions for quality + clarity
 * I would also adjust the tone/wording of the article, so it appears more neutral
 * I would also like to provide more examples - and descriptions for the examples

 * 11) In addition, I would hope to further see how magical feminism is used/portrayed within these works, as well as how the authors of the articles subsequently analyze them; through doing so, I would hope to not only further my understanding on the topic, but would like to also like to utilize their possible perspectives or insights on magical feminism as well.
