There is two possible topics I have chosen:


 * Improvement to the article "African-American women's suffrage movement"

The reason I choose this article is that African-American women's suffrage movement is really an example to explore the intersectionality to discuss black women's idea about one specific movement(suffrage movement) as we learned, so it is relates to our course, I think. Since the article is too simple and lack of enough information, I would like to expand more about several aspects: Firstly, I will add the section to talk about the background of African-American women's suffrage movement, since it is important to refer the situation of black women and black women feminists at that time in order to make people understand the following section "marginalizing African American women" about the relationship between black women and white women in women suffrage movement and black women and black men in women suffrage movement, and to differentiate the mainstream white women suffrage at that time. Secondly, in the section "Marginalizing African American women", I would like to add some concept about "intersectionality" in Crenshaw's article. At the same time, I would like to add some information about the reason of marginalizing African American women in both of groups, white women and black men, by using several sources. Thirdly, I think it is better to list name of people who contribute to the movement, or timeline of African American women's suffrage movement. Lastly, I will add a section to talk about the influence of African American Women's suffrage movement: how their idea influences other minority groups? how they influence in future?


 * Improvement to the article "Nalo Hopkinson"

I choose this article because Halo Hopkinson is one of black women writers related to the Afro-futurism and is referred in our course reading "Making the Impossible Possible: An Interview with Nalo Hopkinson". Since the article just shortly introduce her life and career, I will expand more about her idea in her novels with referring some of sources and adding some external links, such as one of her conversation to talking about race, and her idea about black women feminism's future. Moreover, I want to talk about some critics and reviews about her books, by using some sources, such as "A Feminist Reading of Soucouyants in Nalo Hopkinson's "Brown Girl in the Ring" and "Skin Folk"" and "Queer Universes Sexualities in Science Fiction"
