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

Option 1

 * Article title
 * The Feminist Five


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article has very few sources, and does not provide any input on each of the five women who formed the eponymous "Feminist Five".


 * Sources
 * Hong Fincher, Leta (2018). Betraying Big Brother : the feminist awakening in China. London.
 * Bianco, Marcie. "Meet the Brave Women Behind China's Very First Modern Feminist Movement"

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Thoughts on March 8th


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does not go in depth in the historical context of the article, nor does it provide an especially strong summary of Ding Ling's thought. It does briefly discuss the article's reception by the CCP -- but not necessarily the impact that it had on the author's life.


 * Sources
 * Alber, Charles J. Embracing the Lie: Ding Ling and the Politics of Literature in the People's Republic of China. Westport, CT: Praeger Publishers, 2004.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * What happens after Nora walks home?


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article very briefly goes over the impact that the speech had as well as its origins -- the ending of the play "A Doll's House", written by Henrik Ibsen. It does however summarize the social context effectively.


 * Sources
 * Sun, Lung-Kee (1986). "To Be or Not to Be "Eaten": Lu Xun's Dilemma of Political Engagement". Modern China.
 * Chan, Ching-kiu Stephen (1988). "The Language of Despair: Ideological Representations of the "New Women" by May Fourth Writers". Modern Chinese Literature.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Ling Shuhua


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article spends some time going over Ling Shuhua's works, but none really on her style and its influence on the modernist movement.


 * Sources
 * HUI, WAN (2016). "PRIVATE AND COMMON GROUND: THE WORK OF LING SHUHUA AND VIRGINIA WOOLF IN THE LATE 1930s"
 * Barlow, Tani E. (1993). Gender Politics in Modern China: Writing and Feminism. Duke University Press

Option 5
