Option 1

 * Article title Playboy Mansion:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article carries a variety of information with regards to how the mansion was founded, sold, and a lengthy description of almost every room in the building. They also briefly touch on the sexual assault allegations as well as other financial issues that the mansion went through. However, it doesn’t go into heavy detail these very important topics (such as the sexual harassment present) as much as it goes over every single room in the whole place. This is a huge issue with the article and a lot of information could be added with regard to specific stories from reliable women to inform the general public of the awful things that occurred there. :

Option 2

 * Article title Stacy Arthur:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article gives a good quick overview of Stacy (one of Hefner’s victims), however, it’s such a short piece on such a complex situation. Much information needs to be added to truly tell her story as it’s just a general overview, almost jump-scaring the readers with horrifying imagery. :
 * Sources:There are no articles discussing Stacy Arthur on Google Scholar, however, there are several articles going over her life, many of them popular news sources. :https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0037828/bio/ :https://thecinemaholic.com/stacy-arthur-now-where-is-james-arthurs-wife-today/ :https://www.upi.com/Archives/1992/10/08/Former-Playboy-centerfold-sues-magazine/4786718516800/

Option 3

 * Article title Playboy:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article heavily goes over the history of the Playboy magazine as a whole, vaguely mentioning the women who basically kept the business going. They didn’t even dedicate one small sector of the article to the mistreatment of women by Playboy. This is obviously a disgrace and needs to be updated/added to. Also, Gloria Steinem, a huge figure with regard to Playboy due to her undercover work investigating the Playboy mansion. The article is very outdated and doesn’t really have any tunes of feminism at all. :

Option 4

 * Article title Pink Tax:
 * Article Evaluation:This article gives a nice overview of what the pink tax is and examples of it in the U.S.. However, it doesn’t really touch on other countries and how they deal/are impacted with the pink tax. It goes through the legislative side of things with Congress and it also touches on the economic impact of the pink tax. Overall, it’s a very well-developed and sourced article, other than the fact that it doesn’t give examples of out-of-country pink taxes.

Option 5

 * Article title Legally Blonde:
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is extremely thorough with basically every aspect of the film and it’s musical adaptation. It goes over background, the plot, even all the way down to costumes. However, they don’t have a section talking about the sexist tendencies seen throughout the film. An example of this is pretty much any scene with her ex-boyfriend (Warner) in it as well as different stereotypes with regard to how women are supposed to act based on how they dress. This article would definitely benefit if a specific section were added, explaining the feminist ideas presented in the film. :
