Evaluate the drafted changes
Hello, I will be doing my peer review on your article "Maria Margaretha Kirch". The information you present is well researched and I believe it provides a needed background on her training. I also believe that the information on gender norms and the exclusivity of the societies present in this time period are a good addition. You rely heavily on 1 to 2 sources so far, and I would recommend trying to research a few more so that you don't lean too heavily on just one or two sources you have already used. I did notice that your sentence "Emphasis on women's involvement in the household was enforced during this time period. This is a noted change from the pre 1600's, when women has been more commonly involved in institutes." has no source attached to it, and it would need one if this is a direct statement, but if this is just expanding on something, then I think it would be fine as it. There is also a typo present in this sentence, "when women has been", this could be changed to "when women were" to fix this. All of your content stays neutral and balanced throughout your draft. I would recommend putting in subheadings into your draft just to know where everything will be placed since it is all thrown around and doesn't seem to hold a set structure. I would recommend more research into her training and possibly her exclusion from the scientific societies at the time, if there is any information out there about that. Overall, the article is coming together nicely and I enjoyed reading what you have put together so far. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for reviewing my work.

I do agree that more sources are needed. It would help diversify the information that I currently have and add more credibility to the text. I will double check the text for missing sources and typos. Thank you for pointing that out. I am also interested in learning more about her life outside of scientific societies and am on the hunt for that information.
