Option 1

 * Article title
 * Respectability Politics


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does briefly touch on how respectability politics affects the Black community, the LGBTQ+ community, and Asian communities. However, there is no focus on intersectional identities such as Black Women. It could benefit from an intersectional lens and I can expand on the impacts of respectability for multiple intersectional identities.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Black Women in American Politics


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article summarizes multiple historical events and important socioeconomic movements. It also has two paragraphs that unpack the discrimination that Black women politicians face. I think I could expand on online harassment and abuse using the same data and theories that were presented during class about violence toward women politicians.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Misogynoir


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article quickly touches on multiple concepts regarding the formation and application of Misogynoir. However, it is short and brief and I could utilize an intersectional lense to further expand on the concepts. It could also benefit from a paragraph of examples that could include details on specific politicians.
