Evaluate the article

The lead section of the article does not provide adequate information to give an overview of the whole topic. Although the lead is concise and does give a brief explanation of the topic being discussed, it does require a bit more information to provide further insight on the topic. The article discusses feminist art criticism over the years since the emergence in the 1970s. The article does an excellent job at analyzing feminist art criticism, however, in the section analyzing feminist art criticism in todays day and age, it does not analyze anything relating to the topic. The article takes in one essays point of view on the topic. This article would be improved if it would take in more information about feminist art criticism of todays day and age, and not simply feminist art criticism from over twenty years ago.

The article does however use multiple, current, up to date references, meaning that the information on this wikipedia article is up to date and making the information provided more accurate. The layout of the article is also very easy to follow and overall a very well written, informative article.
