I chose to evaluate the wikipedia page on Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the first female to graduate from dental school in the United States.

Lucy Hobbs Taylor

I believe everything was relevant to the article. The article reveals that she was at first denied admission into dental school, so she studied privately with a professor. The article seems to be favoring women's rights. The article states "she was refused admission". I think the word choice here is harsh, but honestly probably accurate as there were yet to be any female dentists at this time. The article is fairly short and could be expanded on. The links within the article citing the information on Lucy Hobbs Taylor do not work. This is something that needs to be fixed. I cannot fact check the information since none of the links work. Nothing is out of date, so it seems. More information could be added to the article over the current award that is given in honor of Lucy Hobbs Taylor. On the talk page, there is a bit of controversy over whether or not Lucy Hobbs Taylor was truly the first female dentist. However, the article does not necessarily claim this. She is the first female to receive her doctorate in dentistry in the United States. The article is a part of the Wikiproject Dentistry articles, rated Star Class. Similar to class, this article discusses the inequality of women in science-related fields.

I chose to improve the wikipedia article on Charlotte Denman Lozier. I plan to improve the article by adding more about her personal history, such as where she was born, who her parents were, whether or not she had children, etc,. Dr. Charlotte Denman Lozier had a significant impact in medicine and and for women in general. I plan to elaborate on her contribution to Women's Suffrage and Workingwomen's Association. Dr. Lozier also has an institute named after her called the Charlotte Lozier Institute that I plan to further discuss.

Dr. Charlotte Denman Lozier

Charlotte Denman Lozier (March 15, 1844 &#x2013; January 3, 1870) was the daughter of Selina and Jacob Denman. Lozier was the oldest of five. Lozier was born in Milburn, New Jersey, however, her family travelled to Napoleon, Michigan then to Galena, Illinois. The Denman family finally travelled west to Winona, Minnesota. Lozier was born in the Western United States. Her mother died when she was young, and she became caretaker for her family. She studied medicine, and became a professor at the New York Medical College for Women.

Charlotte Denman Lozier lost her mother while in her teens and contributed to her family by teaching. However, in 1864, Lozier, 20 years go age, moved back east to New York to pursue a medical degree. Charlotte began her medical career by entering the New York Medical College for Women. New York Medical College for Women was the first medical school for women in the state of New York. New York Medical College for Women was founded by Dr. Clemence Sophia Harned Lozier.

Dr. Charlotte Denman Lozier finished medical school in 1867 and soon became a professor of physiology and hygiene for New York Medical College for Women. While working as a professor, Charlotte also presented many lectures on women's rights.

Charlotte Denman Lozier married the son of Dr. Clemence Lozier, Dr. Abraham Witton Lozier on January 20th, 1866 in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The two remained in Winona for some time before returning to New York where Charlotte then became the Vice President of the National Working Women's Association. As a feminist, she campaigned for the Women's Suffrage and Working Women's Association as well as other progressive and charitable organizations.

Charlotte Denman Lozier and Abraham Lozier had three children. The first born was a boy, Clement Abraham on November 7th, 1866. The next to be born was another boy, Robert Ten Eyck, in May of 1868 in Connecticut while Dr. Charlotte Denman Lozier was on her way home from a lecture.

In 1869, Charlotte was pregnant with her third child. On New Years Eve, Charlotte was on a ladder hanging a curtain when she became light-headed and fell off of the ladder. Charlotte Denman Lozier was taken to the hospital where her third and final child was born seven months prematurely. However, Charlotte passed away on January 3rd, 1870. Lozier died from health complications surrounding the pregnancy and birth of her third child, who was born several days before she died. She was survived by this child, her two previous children, and her husband.

The Charlotte Lozier Institute, named for Lozier, is a fetal rights think tank founded in 2011. It is a research and education arm of the Susan B. Anthony List.

I think that the things that you are adding to this article will contribute greatly to what little is currently there. I think that you are bringing great things to the table. However, all your sources need to be hyperlinked correctly by Wikis standards so that their credibility and whatnot can be checked. But from what I can tell, they all look good! I look forward to what you will be doing for this article!
