 * White Feminism
 * Article Evaluation
 * After reading through the history page for this article, I can see the biggest issue has been writing the article as a matter-of-fact instead of a point of view piece. The article often struggles to stay neutral; personal opinions are sprinkled throughout. It's also quite under-developed in some sections, notably Third-Wave Feminism. Some parts of the article seem to divert from the topic of White feminism specifically and go off on broader tangents. It's obviously just in the early stages of development – it needs more sources, sections and refinement (but it looks like it hasn't been touched since 2018). The links and citations I tried all seem to work. There are many great sources in this article, but only scratching the surface in terms of the amount of information referenced.

Option 2

 * Female Intrasexual Competition
 * Article Evaluation
 * Competition between males is something widely accepted and even expected in society. But people often forget about competition between females, mostly because it’s a lot less obvious and demonstrative than that of males. I want to dive deeper into this topic and how its repercussions can reach as far as holding women back professionally for example, as well as research whether woman vs. woman competition is exclusive to attaining male attention or not. In her article, “Who Are Women Really Dressing For? The Answer Matters More Than You Think”, Natalie Borecka remarks that women may have a history of dressing up for men, but these days it’s less about wearing clothes that men will enjoy, and more about expressing a part of themselves to other women through fashion. I want to research whether there is more women can reclaim in order to unite rather than fight.

Option 3

 * Occupational Sexism
 * Article Evaluation
 * The current Wikipedia article has lots of room for more information and sections. I’d love to incorporate a section about “Queen Bee Syndrome” or “The Queen Bee Phenomenon”. “The derogatory “queen bee” label is given to women who pursue individual success in male-dominated work settings (organizations in which men hold most executive positions) by adjusting to the masculine culture and by distancing themselves from other women” (qtd. in Derks et al. 457). Women have realized taking on traditionally masculine traits helps them to advance in their careers, separating them from other up-and-coming women in the process. I think it’s important to highlight that even once women reach the same heights as men, they have a new set of hurdles to handle once they get there.
