Overall: 
Thanks for creating this interesting and important article! By my reckoning it was moved to mainspace just under 7 days ago UTC, so I'm glad to get this review in under the wire. Sourcing looks good. (By my understanding of common practice cites in the lede aren't necessary? If they are, then maybe just drop in an extra reference there.) Any other sources besides ODNB and the thesis? Would be great to have some more open-access cites. Fine if not (I've been running through the ODNB-listed Women in Red myself and know that the answer is often "there is nothing else").

- Hiya, cheers for the review. Yes it's like you said, cites aren't necessary but can be added if needed by consensus per MOS:CITELEAD so I'd rather leave it as it is, unless there's something specific. On sources, yes I did have a good look around and didn't find other sources unfortunately. I'm actually quite interested where she ended up but we only have information about her for those four years of her life. Mujinga (talk) 18:09, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Wasn't anything specific in the lede that I was looking for backup on, and completely get it re: other sources. All good from my perspective! Thanks for the MOS reference, btw; I was sure there was something out there but didn't know where it was. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:53, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
