Evaluate the drafted changes

 * What is the article's overall status?

Great job! Overall, the article is very interesting and provides important historical information about women in politics. I think more work could be done to fully flesh out the piece and the organizational structure of the piece could be improved.


 * What are the article's strengths?

This article helps contribute important historical information to an overlooked topic. The information highlights female figures in politics that are integral to a larger narrative of women’s representation in the political sphere.


 * How can the article be improved?

I think the use of sections could be used to help break up information in a more digestible way. I also think there needs to be more context of the role of widow’s succession in the U.S. and female representation in United States politics more broadly. This article is also lacking in non-Wikipedia sources which I think could help create a stronger overarching narrative through the article. It could also be interesting to include comparative information in terms of how the practice of widow’s succession compares to other countries (used more or less and in what context and time period)

This could be helpful historical info: https://capitolhistory.org/capitol-history-blog/widows-succession-how-women-first-gained-a-foothold-in-congress/


 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

I think the information presented is great, but I definitely think more discussion of the role of widow’s succession in women’s political representation is necessary to create a narrative around the examples you have provided.
