Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because it portrays women's mental and physical health during the 19th century and how men saw these women during this time. This matters because mental health is very important and seeing how women were shut off and expected certain things back then is sad, especially when comparing it to the 21st century. My impression of this article is that it is not only an eye-opener but is very powerful and shows the reality of being a woman.

This article has a very good lead section explaining the main idea before diving deeper into the facts and message that is being expressed. Everything in the article is relevant to the topic. Some information could be added, such as when mental health became a recognized issue, how it was seen back then, and what were the "solutions" to these problems during this time. The sources that were provided in this article are relevant. The tone seems to be empathic for women and comes off as a powerful message to individuals. There hasn't been much revision history, nor have I seen much on the talk page but that could be because I am doing something wrong. The links that were provided in the article do work. Some of the sources come from diverse authors and publications. Overall, I believe that it is a very well article that provides input on what it is like to be a woman going through postpartum depression and other mental health struggles that need to be recognized. It is well-developed and provides the story and other resources related to the story that is being told. To improve this article I would provide more information on mental during the 19th century and how women were treated for their mental health issues.
