Yes, the article does not seem to be biased and is mostly factual. 3)Does each claim have a citation? Are the citations reliable?    Yes, each claim has a ciation that brings the reader to a reliable source, explaining each claim. I think the ciations are reliable.

Wiki Article First Draft: Policy Victories: "Suffragists expected women to use the ballot to protect themselves and to impose their viewpoint on political issues"(DuBois 66). Several modest but significant gains for women suffrage occurred during the twenty year period of AWSA activity. Women in two Western states, Wyoming and Utah, won the right to vote. An average of 4.4 states per year considered, but did not adopt woman suffrage. Eight additional states also considered referenda on the issue; none, however, were successful.[1] An National Womens Suffrage Organization victory convention was held on Febuary 12th-18th at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, Illinois(National Women's Suffrage Association).

New Paragraph: The National Women's Suffrage Organization overcame many hardships, leading to the victory of having the ability to vote. "Citizenship represented a relationship to the larger society that was entirely and explicitly outside the boundaries of women's familial relations"(Dubois 66). Before this victory was won, women were not believed to have the right to vote, therefore not being considered true American citizenz. The women of this organization fought for these rights and ultimtely won them. On Febuary 12th-18th, the National Women's Suffrage Association held a victory convention at the Congree Hotel in Chicago, to celebrate this great victory(National Women's Suffrage Association). Without this organization standing up for womens rights, women may not have had all the rights they have today. Peer Review Article Artlicle: ''Socialist Feminism 1. The article does not seem to try to convince the reader to believe one point or the other. It seems to be relatively neutral in its content. 2. One phrase that could be seen as not neutral is when the article states that there are essentially only two branches to socialisyt feminism, when others could see more involved. 3. The article cites every claim they have in the article, from what I can see. '' 4. This article focuses mainly on facts of what socialist feminism was and who social feminists were. It does not focus too much on positive or negative aspects. It seems to be neutral when stating facts about this topic. 5. There could be more citations in the section titled "Motherhood and the private sphere"; other than that, each section seemed to have a good amount of sources and citations. Final Article: The National Women’s Suffrage Association was founded by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The organization split into two groups over the issue, one more radical than the other. "Suffragists expected women to use the ballot to protect themselves and to impose their viewpoint on political issues"(DuBois 66).
