Currently, the article touches on the state of female politicians in 25 “case study” countries. There is a section summarizing the unique challenges female politicians face, such as barriers preventing them from running/winning public office and systemic issues for elected officials. The article is clear and well-written, and organized into very clear sections. One of the article’s strongest sections is “Challenges faced by women.” The table of women’s representation in parliaments around the world is also very helpful at the beginning. The article is covering a very broad topic; some, but not all, of the infinite possible subcategories are addressed. In terms of the individual country case studies, there is not a set organization for the material presented under each country. The sections sometimes address different things (thus the reader can’t compare two countries on a specific metric), some focus really heavily on individual politicians, while others focus on the number of women in government, etc. It could streamline the article if the reader knew what to expect for each section, and they didn’t feel so wildly different/disjointed. Overall, the article is on its way to completion. It is already of a considerable length, but there are a couple of sections that could be expanded and substantiated with more details: suffrage and pathways to political involvement.
