The article "American Women Suffrage Association" provided some good information to the public. Such as when (AWSA) was founded, who the founder was, their purpose, and much more. However, I felt as if this article did not give enough information regarding the (AWSA) some of the article was relevant to particularly to the American Women Suffrage Association, but most of the article began talking about other organizations such as: the National American Women Suffrage Association, and New England Women Suffrage Association. Although each organization had some ties and some similarities the article title "American Women Suffrage Associations" talks more about the other groups. The article is written neutral and does not express any signs of being biased at all. The article is filled with facts and important dates involving all groups and are all cited following a claim provided by the publisher. I think to make the article better I could add more information pertaining specifically to the American Women Suffrage Association, just so it could give more information to readers.

First Draft I will be adding more information to the section titled "policy victories" According to one of the scholarly sources I have chosen for myself titled "Sisterhood Questioned" by Bolt Christine The strategies of the AWSA group was to push ratification of enough women suffrage amendments to get congress to approve an amendment for the right to vote. Women had no legal rights to vote however, after California had become successful by gaining triumphs for the right to vote at a state level: Kansas, Oregon, and Arizona had approved women suffrage in 1912. Furthermore from a short reading titled "Defining Movements Women's Suffrage" by Jeff Hill shortly after the 3 states had gained triumph Women in fifteen states enjoyed the right to vote by the end of the 1910's. By women finally gaining women suffrage in some area's it helped women believe again that they could all eventually have the right to vote all around even after being denied again and again.

The assigned draft I am peer reviewing is the Second-wave Feminism 1.	In the beginning sentence she concludes that these countries all have a lot of similar history behind them when it comes to Feminism. There is also a claim that little attention has been paid to other countries such as Ireland and other international areas when it comes to the second-wave feminism and how it has been discern & taken on by women. 2.	No 3.	The draft does make a claim on behalf of the US human population, basically saying that we do not pay attention to other feminism outside of the US in other international countries as much as we do here in the United States. Furthermore, there is another claim that activism for women became more prominent from prior years due to dictatorship of General Pinochet who was a former president of Chile from December 1974 – March of 1990. 4.	The Second sentence was the only negative thing that was put into the draft, Overall the rest of the draft was positive. The thing I thought was the most positive was the part that was mentioned on how the movement in Chile was very diverse and is composed with middle class women, working-class women, and poor women, along with professional feminist. 5.	No, sources are great.

I will be adding to the section titled: "Formation of the National American Woman Suffrage Association" In the book titled "Women and American Socialism 1870-1920" by Mari Jo Buhle it was brought to my attention although, Stanton was elected the first president of NAWSA she became saw as to be "far reaching" when it came for the next generation of feminists. Stanton had published a book in the 1890's called "The Woman's Bible" In her bible she blamed women's legal disabilities and low status on the Bible & Judeo-Christian tradition. Furthermore, this had caused a major problem for the newer, conservative members of NAWSA. During the 1890's this was a highly conservative, even reactionary decade. Stanton was later replaced by Susan B. Anthony as president, although she agreed with some of the things Stanton wrote in her book, she knew to question religion could potentially harm the movement. After the 1900's leadership of the group fell into the younger generation of feminists led by Anna Howard Shaw and Carrie Chapman Catt. They will focus on amendments to the states constitutions and suffrage.

Additionally, with Shaw and Catt calling the shots critics began to worry about the future of the group. Anna Shaw was famous for her oratorical skills, but people began to feel that she was more interested staging pageant-filled conventions and making speeches to the membership than actually forming a plan to win the vote. Furthermore in "Defining Moments Women's Suffrage" by Jeff Hill, he wrote that "most of the innovative ideas that had emerged came from outside the NAWSA leadership."(2006,pg.117) In many cases the plans were initiated by activists who had became frustrated with Anna to advance the suffrage cause. In chapter 5 in "Sisterhood Questioned" by Bolt Christine, accordingly the movement came to an end in 1920 when the 19th amendment was signed by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby granting all women the right to vote
