[SOLVED] women in history

I’m studying for my History class and need an explanation.

Historians love to review the works of other historians. Whenever a new history book is written, the historical profession selects experts in particular fields of studies to determine the value and contribution the new work will have on the academic discipline. Upon completion of the course’s reading, each student will be considered an expert and be required to read an academic article and submit a 2-page review (minimum). Students are encouraged to celebrate the author’s accomplishments, but also challenge anything that seems substandard. Style and creativity play a crucial role in the success of your review.

Pick one of the Academic Journal Articles below:

• A Nineteenth-Century Voudou Priestess.pdf
• Bright and Goodlooking Colored Girl.pdf
• Chinese American Women Defense Workers.pdf
• Freedwomen, Sexuality and Violence During Reconstruction.pdf
• Mujeres Públicas American Prostitutes in Baja California.pdf
• The Day Nursery Movement in the United States.pdf
• The Limits of State Suffrage for CA Women Progressive Era.pdf
• The Pachuca Panic.pdf
• Victoria Woodhull, Anthony Comstock, and Conflict over Sex in the United States in the.pdf
• White Working Women in the San Francisco Anti-Chinese.pdf

Format

• Two pages (minimum)
• 12 point font
• Double spaced
• Paragraphs

Each paper should include the following:

1. The author’s purpose in writing the article
2. The author’s main thesis
3. The author’s challenging of other historical viewpoints
4. The evidence utilized by the author (specifically primary sources)
5. Personal likes/dislikes
