  • This is mostly fine, an excellent article. A few points below:
  • Thank you.
  • "In 1937 she volunteered to fight in the Spanish Civil War with the International Brigade; however, she was turned down, because she did not have medical experience." Did she volunteer as a nurse? It's not clear how medical experience has to do with fighting.
  • True, but I'm afraid that's a limitation of the source, which says the same thing in slightly different words. It doesn't say what role she volunteered for.
  • In the paragraph that begins "She remained a member of the Communist Party for 70 years..." you have a lot of "she"s, which gets repetative. Maybe use her name a few more times.
  • Switched a couple of uses
  • "Her trip to the Soviet Union led to several prospective employers rejecting her after her return." This sentence repeats what was just said a sentence earlier, doesn't it?
  • You're right. Removed the duplication.
  • I'll take a look...honestly, though, I don't remember seeing any when I wrote this.
  • @Coemgenus: I took a look, but I'm afraid I cannot find anything. There's photos of a few other Mary Dochertys out there, including that of a child criminal in the US...but none of her. Even the interview does not have a picture. And I think that's the lot. Vanamonde (talk) 17:20, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
