Needs work, enough to quantitatively be a B, but needs editing and organization. Infobox would help.

Sorry, I have no idea whay this page may be blatant advertising. it is a page about a well known and imprtant Marxist Feminist professor and author who is one of the worlds leading sociologists on this subject. She has lead the way in womens studies from her early days at Lancaster through UCLA, bristol, LSE, Leeds and back to Lancaster. She is and has been chair of many seniour womns orgaisations and umbrella bodies and the leader of several important research establishemnts.

I appreciate that this is my first major contribution but I feel hounded. I have gradually improved the article, added refernces, articles, cross referencesd publications and CV and uni pages.. and have gone from comments about needing to add references to a "rapid delete"

Please explain which of the blatant advertising/rapid delete reasons this page violates.--Suefidler 15:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

You'll want to ask the person that posted the speedy tag on their talk page after contesting it here (which you did). KTC 15:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I was left scratching my head as well, so I'm pulling it out of play. I've removed all speedy tags. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
