Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The lead section in this article is only one sentence long. While the sentence does reiterate the broad topic it is extremely vague and does not necessarily introduce it. There is no discussion of what sections will be included in the article to follow or general discussion of content.

Content

The content covered in this article is relevant to the topic being discussed. However there is a lack of content covering racial minority women's fitness trends and underrepresents marginalized populations. Given that there is one sentence that makes a distinction between women's fitness trends in the 20th century between different racial groups, more content discussing minority groups is needed.

Tone and Balance

This article primarily addresses 20th century women's fitness trends in the United States but does not give a global view of fitness trends in the 20th century. Furthermore the article primarily addresses white women's fitness culture in the United States. A specific distinction was made between Women's fitness culture in the 20th century in the black community versus the white community but the discrepancy between the discussion of the two cultures was greatly disproportionate; white women's fitness trends being discussed more.

Overall Impression

Overall this article has good organization and writing quality and the ideas presented flow cohesively. The lead section of this article needs to be added to in length and content.

The article also underrepresents fitness trends for women of color in the 20th century given that it focuses mostly on white American women.
