Option 1

 * Article title
 * Feminist Political Theory


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is very rudimentary in its writing. It is missing many topics of importance because it only covers history and topics of inquiry. It also lacks appropriate transitions and linkage between the topics it does present. This is a topic of high importance that needs to be explained in more detail and in a more coherent manner.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Nationalism and Gender


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a very interesting important topic that is not discussed very often. I think the idea of gendered nationalism should be explore and talked about. The first few topics are explained in great detail and seem very solidly written, but there still seems like more information could be provided, such as the specifics in regards to the gender and nationalism studies done in other countries. This article is NR, therefore it's hard to judge how much improvement is needed.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Women in government


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is rated as C Class- an intermediate article with room for improvement. The lead section could be improved to be more introductory, it is quite bare currently. Also, though there are case studies for 24 countries I believe that this list is still missing some important countries. Also just from information I have learned from class, there are definitely more barrier to entry that can be discussed.
