Great work, Nick! A very informative article and extremely well-written and thoroughly researched.

Suggestions I have: - first paragraph this sentence: "The framework of the article was also important in that it opened up the possibility of researching the change in meaning of this categories over historical time." I would change this wording so that it reads as "The framework of the article was important 'to the field because' it opened the possibility" so that it reads as slightly less subjective.

Origins and publication section: - Can you link to her undergrad thesis or find the title of it anywhere? - Typo: "Toward AN Anthropology of Women" not "and" -What was the name of the lesser-known feminist studies journal? List if you can.

Summary: -I would reword this "She first attacks Marxism, arguing that it is unable to "fully express or conceptualize sex oppression."" to say something like "She argues that Marxism is 'unable to fully...' and take out the word "attacks" to soften it slightly. -The next sentence, "Marx offers a very useful account.." --does Rubin think that this is useful or is this your own evaluation? I would clarify either to say "Rubin argues that this is useful," or take out the word useful just so that it doesn't read like an opinion. -sentence that starts" Rather than describing it merely in kinship..." I would edit "rubin wants" to read more objectively, and just say "Rubin highlights the economic implications." -Does she have any other women influences besides Rayner Reiter? I'm just thinking about how many of her influences cited in this section are men (although, I know you bring up Judith Butler later). Does Simone de Beauvoir come up at all? -last paragraph typo: extra period before "arguing" -Great overview here, Nick! It's extremely informative.

Reception section: -Great job--really covers the bases and is written in a really objective style. -I like that you include reception both inside and outside the field. -are there any critiques that focus on race (I don't actually know if there are), but I was wondering if she was ever critiqued for focuses solely on gender and not race or its intersection..just a thought for further research.

Overall, awesome job! I hope some of these thoughts are helpful.
