Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1 - Glass Ceiling
The glass ceiling represents the barrier that women face in the workplace that prohibits them from rising up the corporate ladder in the same ways that men can. Women are widely underrepresented in higher corporate and managerial positions, compared to men. The articles content is relevant to the topic at hand, however there is minimal information about every section that is listed. Some claims are made that need a citation, as well. In addition to these errors, the article needs to be updated to reflect the current state of the glass ceiling and graphs to match. Further, the talk page suggested to add a cross-cultural context approach as well. I plan to elaborate on each of the topics that are discussed. Overall, the main issue with this Wikipedia page is the lack of information per subsection and the need to be updated.

Option 2 - Gender Pay Gap
Similarly to the glass ceiling, the gender pay gap is a result of the differences in the treatment of men and women in the workplace. The historical perspective of the gender pay gap needs additional information to what is already provided, amongst the other sections. The graphs are from 2015 which should be updated to a more recent study of the gender pay gap. On the talk page, it was suggested that the inequalities across skill levels and industries should be added, as well as the definition of an adjusted gender pay gap. In addition to the research that has already been published on this Wikipedia page, I plan to address how the gender pay gap contributes to poverty and how women are more likely to be in poverty than men.

Option 3 - WHPA
The WHPA Wikipedia page has little to no information on what the act is meant to address. The WHPA is extremely important to update considering all that has been happening with Roe v. Wade and the government. Women in poverty are more likely to need reproductive healthcare but not be able to access it. The WHPA Wikipedia page is set at the Stub class, so there is a lot of room to improve what has already been written. In addition to providing information on WHPA, I plan to discuss who is most likely to be affected by the act and why the act was proposed. Although I will be discussing such factors, I will be sure to keep a neutral point of view.
