Which article are you evaluating?
1919 in women's history

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because the book my class just read, Peace on Our Terms by Mona Siegel, focuses on the year following the end of World War I (1919) and how 1919 was a pivotal year for international women's rights. Since this article focuses on the year 1919 in women's history, it relates perfectly with what my class is working on. When skimming the article, I thought it wouldn't have much information that I did not already know.

Evaluate the article
The article was in the structure of a bullet-pointed list, with each bullet-point naming an event in women's history that took place in 1919. The list was separated by month (ex. January...December). Although the list does a good job at highlighting key events in women's history, the list is primarily focused on events that happened in the West (with only three bullet points highlighting events in the East- Ukraine, the Hungarian Soviet Republic, and Azerbaijan), and, with the events highlighted in the West, they were all events from the Americas and Europe. To improve this list, I think events from other countries outside the Americas and Europe could be added. There could also be a section in the article that highlights some key feminists of the time. Overall, however, it's a good list in case someone wants to have a general idea of how 1919 was a big year for the first wave of the feminist movement.
