Feminist interpretations of witch trials in the early modern period
Llewellyn Barstow, Anne. “On Studying Withcraft as Women’s History: A Historiography of the European Witch Persecutions.” Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion Vol. 4, No. 2 (Fall, 1988):7-19. https://www.jstor.org/stable/25002078
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is a C-Class Article. It is within the scope of WikiProject Feminism. It is also within the WikiProject History scope. Like previous options, this article relates easily to the 8th grade history curriculum, however you could also use parts of it in 7th grade as it discusses witcraft and trials in an international scope. This is topic is crucial to understanding women’s history and how embedded sexism is. It is a part of the history of systematic violence against women. This article touches on the concepts and examples in the US but can use a lot more flushing out. It is relatively short and has ample opportunity.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Chinatown, San Francisco :
 * Article Evaluation
 * The content of the article is missing some historical context for the way Chinatown was ignored in regards to its infrastructure by the city of San Francisco. The section regarding the Bubonic plague as well as other aspects of the article touches on the anti-Asian/anti-Chinese sentiments that existed historically, but they are not telling the complete story. I believe that including this is topical and addresses a historical precedence that has repercussions today in regards to how public money is spent as well as further information on anti-Asian sentiments that still affect the community today. Additionally, this is a topic that can easily relate to 8th grade or 11th grade US history, and I think has potential to resonate with many students.

Option 3
Sterilization of Native American women
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is a “start class” and is of interest to the following Wikipedia projects; Human Rights, Women’s History, Discrimination, and Indigenous Peoples of North America. I noticed a few missing components such as forced abortion which I believe fits in with the discussion of the HIS and their sterilization of Native American Women. I think there could be further editing so that the article is explicit in it's discussion of Native American women in the United States. This topic relates to a group that is often forgotten in historical discussions and I think has potential for editing.
 * Like previous sources, it can be tied into the history curriculum, particularly in 11th grade.
