... that a major newspaper's obituary of Socorro Sánchez, the first feminist journalist in the Dominican Republic, criticized her as "manly" and over-involved in the country's politics? Source: "Falleció ayer tarde, casi repentinamente, la varonil hermana del ilustre prócer del Baluarte del 27 de Febrero. [The manly sister of the illustrious hero of the Bastion of February 27 died yesterday evening, almost suddenly.] ... en la agitada intromisión de sus energías en la vida política del país [in the agitated meddling of her energies in the political life of the country] ..." (Muere Socorro del Rosario Sánchez) and "popularly known as “Socorro Sánchez,” arguably the first feminist journalist and educator in the Dominican Republic" OUP/subscription required
ALT1: ... that Socorro Sánchez, a feminist journalist in the Dominican Republic who publicly exposed official corruption, was often criticized as acting like a man because of her outspokenness?
QPQ is done (rough one! nice job.) Article length, date and referencing are good, as is neutrality. The hooks are formatted properly, catchy enough and supported by referencing. Everything is good but I wonder if the hook can be trimmed for better focus. I prefer ALT0 but can we trim it to the following ALT2 suggestion?
