Option 1
Postmaterialism and Feminism This article, with a completeness score of 47, lacks much content concerning the applications of postmaterialism. In particular, I'm interested in potentially contributing work that could summarize the relationship between postmaterialism and feminism. This would allow me to explain how postmaterialist values influenced the rise of feminist waves and their respective political goals of universal suffrage, access to education, equal labor opportunities, and freedom of gender expression. The addition of this section to the existing article is important since it would highlight how feminist movements in the current and last century successfully achieved their initial political goals in part through the workings of postmaterialist values.

Option 2
Women's Political Representation With a completeness score of 49, this article lacks a section concerning women's political representation - a facet of representation that is crucial when discussing politics in our modern times. I am interested in contributing to the creation of this new section to summarize the available information encompassing women's mobilization in political spheres. This work is particularly important because women in the 21st century have steadily become potent forces in governments, with the U.S. electing its first female Vice President, 28 other countries having women serving as Heads of State and/or Heads of Government, and more. Nonetheless, equal women representation around the world still does not exist. Thus, having a Wikipedia article that illuminates this is critical for public knowledge.

Option 3
Gender Pay Gap in the United States by Race With a completeness score of 58, this article's section on the gender pay gap by race is severely limited by its lack of current and robust data concerning varying racial groups (Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc.) In particular, it fails to achieve a truly intersectional summary of how gender and race are intrinsically tied to variations in the pay gap when compared against each other and white men. It also neglects to consider how this gendered and racialized pay gap can be addressed. Therefore, I wish to add to this section because of its significance to women in the U.S., who currently experience this pay gap as a part of their economic livelihoods.
