Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Mtatherton18, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Response
[edit]Hi! I have some feedback! By large this definitely looks good, but there are one or two things that I wanted to point out. I actually made some of these changes myself since they were pretty small, relatively minor fixes.
- This needed attribution in some places, sometimes to show who was making the claim but also to be a bit more specific. I've actually changed this up for you since it was a fairly minor thing that needed doing.
- Some of the sentences needed to be tweaked to flow a little better, which I also did.
- Be careful of tense when it comes to living people. If the person is still alive, you should refer to them in the present tense. You can say that someone was active during a specific time period, but typically we don't say that someone was something unless we're talking about a role like them being a former athlete or president of an organization. I changed this as well.
The only thing that I'd say that you should work on is an general intro-type paragraph to the section that gives a general overview, although this would depend on what your group members are working on - if they're revamping the history section then this may be unnecessary. Other than that, maybe add content about other prominent feminists, although again this would depend on the others' contributions. Offhand I think that you have some very good work here!
