Option 1

 * Article title
 * Feminist foreign policy


 * Article Evaluation
 * Provides an overview of feminist foreign policy and how it manifests in countries across the world. Feminist foreign policy is becoming a much more relevant component of development aid that wealthier states provide to lesser developed nations, with its goals comprising the upholding of gender equality and granting and maintaining human rights for all women. The article goes over acts of feminist foreign policy enacted by a few developed countries, but it is not a very comprehensive list. An important addition to this article could include the effects of feminist foreign policy in lesser developed countries, looking at how women have been affected by this aid.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gender mainstreaming


 * Article Evaluation
 * Gender mainstreaming is a concept that seeks to judge policies based on their implications for people of different genders, seeking to bring women and their experiences and perspectives to the table when deliberating policy implementation. The article provides definitions of the concept, delving into ways in which gender mainstreaming is utilized, as well as providing a few examples of gender mainstreaming in actual policymaking procedures. The article could be strengthened by providing more examples of gender mainstreaming, as well as building out the criticisms section with more instances where gender mainstreaming has failed or been ineffectual.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Widow's succession


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article covers the interesting phenomenon of widow's succession, which involves the succession of a male politician by his wife following his death. This provided many women the first opportunities for female political leadership, and opened the path for women in office. The article looks at many examples, but I feel that widow's succession particularly in the US can be delved into in much more depth, which could constitute its own article. Thus, I could focus on a new and separate article looking at widow's succession purely in the United States.
