Option 1

 * Article title
 * The Feminist Five movement in China

Article Evaluation
As someone who are more familiar with feminist movements within North America, it would be nice to recognize feminist from other cultures and see what struggles they have and what beliefs they are fighting for. In this particular one caught my attention because as someone with Chinese background, I rarely see or hear any feminist movements from China so I became curious and searched up feminism in China in Wikipedia. As I was reading through that encyclopedia, I saw that they talked about the arrest of the Feminist Five. Even though it was said to be big in the news at the time that the event happened, I have never heard of them so I would like to know more about who they are and what they stand for. There is a wikipedia for this, they only go over the Feminist Five briefly and their most recent information was in 2015, so I would like to have more information on them and have an update on what they are up to today.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Catherine Parr, what she did to support female rights


 * Article Evaluation
 * Henry VIII was famous for having six wives, and the wives were only remembered in history as Henry’s wife. There is a popular musical that I was interested in last year called “Six” written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. This musical revolves around the six wives of Henry the VIII, where they sing about who they are and giving their side of their story. This musical got me engaged towards the character, especially Catherine Parr who was said to be the one who outlived Henry the VIII and was someone who believed in female equality. In her wikipedia page it was mostly revolving around Henry the VIII and less about their accomplishments, so I would like to see more information about her achievements.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Woman In Tang Dynasty


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Tang Dynasty was the first and only Dynasty to have a female emperor, Wu Zetian,  rule the empire in China. It was said that during her reign, it was considered the most successful Dynasty and supposed to be the most important time period for women. I think that this is really inspiring how she, alone, was able to rise into power from being a concubine to becoming the first female ruler. There is a wikipedia page that is about Women in ancient and imperial China, and it does talk about women during the Tang Dynasty but it mainly focuses on Wu Zetian. I want to write something that focuses on the woman in the Tang Dynasty and not just on the female emperor.
