Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
As someone interested in women's history, I was curious about the context of this case. However, I feel that the article lacks sources from the stance of the women- it's a very shallow description of events, and lacks perspective. There's a limited number of sources, and I just feel the article could do more to thoroughly explain the event.

Evaluate the article
Overall, the phrasing is stiff & often uncomfortable to read. It doesn't feel very concise, and yet there's still a lack of detailed information. The first paragraph uses the phrasing "heavily influenced" without any citation or explanation to support the claim. The headings are oddly named and formatted, with several grammatical and punctuation errors throughout the article. There's a lack of proper citations within the text, and most of the (already minimal) references are from the same source. I feel like it lacks context and depth. I imagine there's more about these women than what is vaguely listed under "The individuals"; I believe more time should also be given to how they knew and influenced each other. It very plainly lays out the legal procedures and charges which, while important, gives absolutely no reference to the actual dialogue happening and the arguments of those convicted. I wonder if there are more material references that could possibly be linked as images.
