Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

The lead paragraph that currently sits in the sandbox incorporates the new information and the first sentence is clear and concise about introducing the article's topic. There is no summary of the major article sections and there is some superfluous detail that may not be necessary to include in the introduction but would be better suited to its own section within the body of the article.

Content

The content added about Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont is her pedagogy and methods for her work, all relevant, as well as further detail about her life in relation to that work. The most up-to-date source used is '''[Banks, M., 2021, ‘De Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast: A feminist analysis’, Literator 42(1), a1713. https://doi.org/10.4102/lit.v42i1.113]''' but that is more up-to-date than what is currently within the reference section of the existing article. The article deals with an equity gap of female writers and all the content that is in the sandbox is relevant.

Tone and Balance

The article is drafted with a neutral tone and does not seem to favor a position but there is some concerning word choice and claims, like "Her contributions to children's literature and the folklore genre mark her as one of the most popular and influential female writers of the eighteenth century." which reads like it is pushing a particular point of view on Beaumont since there is no secondary source listed as support for this claim. There are no over- or under-represented views.

Sources and References

The listed sources in the sandbox all have working links except '''[Schaller, Peggy. “Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont (1711-1780): Biographical Essay for Chawton House Library and Women Writers.” Women Writers, Chawton House Library, 2008. Web.] .''' However, none of the current information in the sandbox is cited or linked to the reference section so I can not discern which information is derived from which source. The sources with working links come from literary journal type websites, such as Jstor, literator, and one from Project Muse which is hosted by John Hopkins University. Project Muse is not open access to read the whole article, but the literator article is, the Jstor article may not be open access but it is difficult to tell. The articles are written by women of diverse backgrounds, such as South Africa, and all done through university scholarship. The articles sourced are peer-reviewed and meet the threshold for a reliable source.

Organization

The sandbox only has the lead paragraph, the life and work paragraph, and the reference section. However, the break down of these sections could probably be altered to have the lead paragraph, the paragraph about Beaumont's life, and then a paragraph on her work to really emphasize what the main information and importance of Beaumont as far as the emphasis on her pedagogy and why she wrote and why we should be interested in the article.
