Option 1

 * Article title: Zerlina Maxwell
 * Article Evaluation: The lead sentence of this article did a good job of explaining who Zerlina Maxwell in one sentence. However, that one sentence was the whole lead of the article. The next section of the article discussed her education. Since the sexual assault incident happened while she was in college, that was mentioned in the education section. Since her sexual assault was such an influential part of her history and her activism I feel like that that part of her life deserved its own section. The career section of the article was strong, but it needed more details especially since she has such a rich career history. I felt like there should have been more sections and more information about Zerlina which is why it is stub article.

Option 2

 * Article title: The Woman's Tribune
 * Article Evaluation: This article lacked a lot of information. Prior to this article I didn't know what The Woman's Tribune was or the history of it. I did some of my own research prior to evaluating this article I felt there was more information that could have been added to this article considering it only had one short section. There were only four sources for this article and I found more sources that could have been used. This article also could have mentioned more specific women who were a part of the creation of The Woman's Tribune. One of the best parts of this article was that one of the sources used was the Library of Congress.

Option 3

 * Article title: Fertility equality
 * Article Evaluation: I chose this article because I felt like from an intersectional view this article could have expanded on a lot more. Not many people realize that fertility inequality exists and people of color, people in the lgbtq+ community and people who come from low-income backgrounds. At the top of this article it says that the article is proposed to be deleted because it lacks enough content. I agree with this comment because there was only a few sentences in this article and there was only two sources. There are more sources for this topic.

Option 4

 * Article title: African-American women's suffrage movement
 * Article Evaluation: Overall the content of this article was strong and there was a lot of information, however, I did feel like more could have been added to this article because it is such an important topic. White women are often the only women focused on when it comes to the suffrage movement. The article was split into six sections; a lead, issues in exercising vote, the educated suffragist, creation of the National Association of Colored Women, Marginalizing African-American women, The movement splits and Origins of the movement. I felt like each section had an appropriate amount of information without focusing too heavily on one section. The largest section was about the National Association of Colored Women. There were a lot of strong sources for this article which is what makes this article reliable and why there is a lot of information in each section. The lead was strong and opened the article well.

Option 5

 * Article title First National Conference of the Colored Women of America
 * Article Evaluation: The lead sentence in this article was good because it properly introduced the topic and drew the audience in. The history section of the article had a lot of information and it multiple sub-sections. The history of the National Conference of the Colored Women of America is so important because during that historical era the majority of the focus was on Women's conferences that were led by white women. Compared to other pages about historical women's conferences this article was shorter and had less information and less sources. This article also wasn't as well organized as other articles, and I would have broken the sections up differently and put a little more information about the women who organized and took part in this conference.
