Which article are you evaluating?
Women's health movement in the United States

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article for its relevance to the topic of feminism and for my personal interest in the subject. The topic is certainly important, as not only was this movement a big part of the second wave of feminism, but it has continued into current day feminist arguments as well. Right from the beginning, the organization of the article allows the reader to easily follow the movement through time and understand where it began vs. where it is today. Additionally, the use of occasional images helps draw in the reader and inform them further without overwhelming them. From a first impression, the article seems to be well written and very informative.

Evaluate the article
To begin with the lead section, this article does a great job at introducing the topic right off the bat and making sure the reader knows what the page is about from the very first sentence. The initial definition is broad yet provides examples of what the movement works on so the reader gets a clear idea about the focus of the WHM. Including notable organizations involved with the WHM is certainly helpful, although I don't know if it is entirely necessary to be in the lead section, as it draws away from the main point of the article and shifts the readers attention away from the WHM. The last paragraph, however, is extremely important, as it separates the WHM from other similar feminist issues, clarifying the movement as its own, unique campaign. The content of the article is accurate and up to date, providing background information when necessary and thoroughly touching on all aspects of the WHM. I don't recognize any bias in the writing and the variety of sources helps show the information comes from a reliable source. The use of images is certainly helpful to engage and inform the reader, with beneficial captions explaining each piece of media. This article is rated as c-class overall but hits the b-class and mid-importance rating within specific subjects, meaning it helps fill in more minor details. This article could definitely use some revising to get rid of irrelevant material, but for the most part provides a good background into the WHM.
