Feminism in Canada

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose it because I felt that it was very strikingly relevant to me as a Canadian, and a student of this Feminist, Gender, and Cultural Studies class.

Evaluate the article
All in all, I believe that this article meets most of the requirements that are laid out within this exercise. The tone is neutral, there are a myriad of sources that are cited, and they've also included Black feminism as well. Though, why stop there? Why not also have Asian feminism? Or trans woman feminism? Or disabled women feminism in this country? Are there any more sources or events that would have included people from these groups as well?

I also believe that the image captions could potentially be more descriptive, for those who may have impaired vision or something similar and may have trouble with the current image descriptions.

There was also one source I tried to click on and the webpage could not be found, so there may be more outdated sources like that in the article that I idd not catch myself. I think the list of sources needs to be checked through again so people could be able to go to the pages that editors would want to link to.

The talk page was a nice sight to see; others agree that adding more different perspectives would be a good idea. The most recent addition to the talk was from 2017, and they talked about the potential of explaining the "waves" in more detail. They also mentioned the possibility of omitting the post war period of the article, which I don't think I would personally agree with in this article in particular. Yes, the 50s were "a huge step backward" but I believe that it is still important to discuss the bad as well as the good. It can give a very clear image on how feminism came to be in Canada and can show the various struggles that would have come with trying to make this huge societal change in such a time.
