Article Evaluation - Women in Africa:
Everything in the article is written fluently and informative, with no misleading information or distractions. The article could be updated to reflect more modern laws that may have been passed in certain African countries; it seems that some of the information is about four to five years old.

The article is neutral, it takes on an informative tone rather than a persuasive one.

This Wikipedia article has mostly books used for their sources but the one or two articles that did have links did work. The sources did support the evidence that was presented and was able to expand on the information found in the Wikipedia page. There is a paragraph dedicated to Algerian women and the article supported the claim that these women were climbing the ranks of power to eventually run the country. Since I cannot fact check the books, the one link provided is unbiased and a trusted source. So, I would think that the books and other scholarly articles would also be unbiased as well since this Wikipedia page seeks to inform not to persuade readers.

This particular article doesn't seem to have a very large talk page. In fact the last known edit occurred in 2014. So with such limited conversation there isn't really a way to compare what we were taught to what is being shown on the talk page for this article. This is rated as mid-importance and is related to Africa, Feminism, Gender Studies, and Women's History.

Women in Africa are a growing force in local governments but there is still widespread violence occurring against women in some countries. Currently the UN is working to combat this violence by setting up sites in various African countries and making it so that women are safe for running for political offices.
