Option 1

 * Article title: Women's Political Participation in India
 * Article Evaluation: The article's content is relevant to its topic as the article discusses women's activity in Indian politics throughout the article and is written in a way to address the issue without taking a side, simply presenting information. While the article does provide relevant information, more information regarding past female participation in Indian politics, such as the first female prime minister and more examples, can be provided along with the idea of what female participation looks like. Additionally, more statistics about how women in Indian politics has changed over time as well as how it is still lacking could be added to enhance the article. Most of the claims have citation however this can definitely be improved on as some facts are lacking a proper citation.

Option 2

 * Article title: Gender and Politics
 * Article Evaluation: The article has a good introduction that a gives a clear and concise overview of what Gender and Politics is and the content is relevant to the topic. The article is very brief, and while it has good sources for its claims, the article can include more information regarding different identities, such as intersecting identities and how that is influenced and influenced politics and decision-making institutions, covering a topic that is historically underrepresented. Additionally, regarding women in politics, which is closely tied to gender and politics, the article could use more data and statistics to emphasize how there are less women in office in most countries in order to support the claim about concern regarding less female involvement as well as initiatives taken by some countries, such as reserved seats, to lessen the gap.

Option 3

 * Article title: Women's in Singapore Politics
 * Article Evaluation: The article covers a group that is historically underrepresented, women in Singapore, and attempt to cover an equity gap. The article provides surface level information on women's participation in politics in Singapore both in the past and present. The article does not have many sources it uses to verify its claims and could use more articles/journals to cite and understand more information about this topic from. The article also mentions the lack of Singaporean women but could use additional information regarding possible explanations for this absence as well as why there has been an increase in recent times. The article does a good job of being concise and easy to understand but the introduction could talk more generally about Singaporean women in politics in order to provide a clearer overview of the topic for potential readers so they can easily identify what the article is.

Option 4

 * Article title: Women's Work
 * Article Evaluation: The article's content is relevant to the topic and has multiples sources cited, which appear to be credible. The article has clearly labelled sections regarding women's work such as "Types" and "Effects", which make the article easy to read through and understand. The article is well written but can be expanded on, especially in writing about the effects of women's work on women and how women in male-dominated professions, such as politics, are stereotyped and those effects. The article could use more data and images as well but overall the article was well written and could just use some more expanding on the topic in order to make it a more complete article.
