Unlink Finland; United Kingdom; United States (MOS:OL).
The title of this section imo could do with being replaced by something like ‘Similar traditions’.
In some parts of Europe is too vague.
I’m wondering why the Finnish tradition is not explained in the same way as the traditions in other countries are explained.
As the section goes on to discuss particular traditions from three of the countries mentioned here, I don’t think most of the first paragraph is needed.
Amend This was supposedly decreed by the young, unmarried Queen Margaret, though she was 5 years old to something like ‘This was supposedly decreed on behalf of Queen Margaret, then 5 years old’, to improve the prose
Amend the caption to something like ‘American postcard (1908)’.
postcard in the caption should be linked.
The sentence starting Cartoons were published is imo too long and rather ‘bitty’. Consider amending to so something like 'Cartoons mocked women by depicting them attempting to capture unwitting men using nets or guns’.
The dates (e.g. in Ref 1) need to be formatted correctly (see MOS:DATESNO).
I’m not convinced that Ref 1 (Ireland Before You Die), Ref 2 (timeanddate.com, also note the citation is incomplete) and Ref 4 (IrishCentral.com) are reliable sources of information, as per WP:SOURCE. What makes you think they are?
Ref 3 needs a retrieval date.
Ref 7 is incorrectly and not completely cited (see Template:Cite book for help here).
