Option 1

 * Article title
 * Chicana Feminism


 * Article Evaluation
 * Being the ideology that comes from the intersections of gender and the Chicano political movement, the article for the Chicana movement of Feminism seems to be pretty well structured. The flow of the article reflects work that all makes sense in the order that it is presented and also does not show any bias. The extension of this topic from the Chicano movement highlights the differences in the discrimination that Chicana women faced that the Chicano movement did not focus on. Extending the movement beyond its political significance, Chicana art is mentioned in this article to help further cultivate the knowledge of the Chicana culture.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gloria Arellanes


 * Article Evaluation
 * Important contributor to the pro-Chicano movement during the 1960s, Gloria Arellanes is an important character in the role that women had while joining and supporting this movement. This article needs work in specifying more of Arellanes’ work within the organization, rather than focusing on work that the organization did in total. There is not much detail, although there is much to be said with Arellanes’ testimonies available in books and interviews. There is not much bias to be found in the article, which is nice. This article does miss out entirely on the work she did outside and after the Brown Berets, as she led a Chicana organization because of the heavy machismo from within the Chicano movement.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Women's Political Participation in Indian Government


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article, though unrated, provides a substantial amount of useful information in the roles that women have in Indian government. No bias or unneutral storytelling seems to be taking place in the article, and its flow of paragraphs makes sense. In defining the political participation of women, from voting to representation in government, the past editors of this page delve into the current ways in which women are in politics, and always the challenges from attempt to prohibit them from politics. The article has a wide variety of sources cited, though there are a few sentences where citations are still needed. I largely used this page to understand the real-life workings of a Talk page and found it to be helpful.
