Third Wave Feminism


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

This article is very good, there are so many fantastic sources listed throughout the article and it does a great job explaining how third-wave differs from second-wave. I do think it could do a little bit better job of explaining what exactly the third-wave is, the philosophies it encompasses, and when exactly third-wave transformed into the fourth. I appreciate there is a criticism page as there are some excellent arguments against the wave model. Overall, very interesting and detailed page.

Option 2

 * Article title

Lipstick Feminism


 * Article Evaluation
 * Article Evaluation

This article is extremely fascinating to me as we have seen a rise in 'bimboculture', which is what I would consider to be the Gen Z take on lipstick feminism. However, the two I think are honestly the same thing. With that being said, this article could really use some updating to include a section such as that and this new rise in lipstick feminism. I didn't even know there was a proper term for this type of feminism so I think there is a lot of potential with this page to help get this title back into the mainstream, especially as 'bimbos' are going viral on TikTok. Other than this glaringly obvious flaw, the article overall is okay. There could be a lot more in certain sections such as the language and dialect one. I appreciate the references to Emma Goldman and Zora Neale Hurston, but it definitely should not stop there. This article also labels this type of feminism as a variety of third wave, but I don't think it should be labeled as a variety of anything as it is still present today, probably more so now than ever. A major flaw with the third-wave label as well is the fact that almost every single source was written post 2010. I do like the article, it has a good philosophy section, and the sources to seem to be decent.

Option 3

 * Article title

Riot Grrrl


 * Article Evaluation
 * This page is honestly one of the best I think I have ever seen. The amount of content and coverage with each individual section is astonishing to me, there is so so much here. The only thing I think is missing here are sections that cover the women of color involved in the Riot Grrrl movement - there is not much here on the diversity of the movement at all. It would also be interesting to see how LGBTQ+ culture played a part in the movement, given that it formed in some cities most known for their cultures and gay scenes. Other than these things, this article is also fantastic.
