Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I have been interested in the role of women in the workplace for a couple of years. This topic is especially pertinent considering the growing social movements regarding women's rights in society. My initial impression was that the article effectively provided factual and diverse information on the topic, though some explanations seemed underdeveloped.

The leading section of this article is effective in that it provides a concise explanation for the broader topic being discussed. The article's content is related to the subject and even goes so far as to provide subdivisions for the different aspects of the feminization of the workplace. In terms of balance, the article adopts a neutral tone and provides a facts-driven explanation. There are not necessarily any underrepresented viewpoints; even though the article is about one axis of oppression of women, the article does not do much in terms of platforming the voices of POC and LGBTQ+ women. The sources are relatively recent; though it is understandable some may be older if one is attempting to learn about the development of women in the workplace over time. The article is clear and easy to read; however, the language feels a bit simplistic and reductive at times. There is one image which depicts women employed as police in West Bengal but surely there could have been more effort to show women in other fields. The talk page discussion is minimal but upon looking at the "view history", there has been more in-depth discussion of editing the article. It is part of WikiProject Gender Studies. Overall, the article is well-intentioned but overly simplistic. I believe the language could be changed to be better suited for the subject at hand. Further, there should be a conclusive ending to the article which allows the reader to regather the main points.
