Article Evaluation:

I chose the Article: Women in Medicine

Everything in the article was extremely relevant to the topic and did not distract me. Additionally, all of the links worked.

I did notice that there were a few citations needed. I also noticed that the History section was pretty long and could probably have its own page. It also doesn't fully capture the history of women in medicine around the world, only women in medicine in particular parts of the world. For example, China has it's own section completely. The early modern era section of the article is completely empty and needs information. I found it interesting that this article is part of 5 Wikiprojects titled: Gender Studies, Women's History, Medicine, Women Scientists, and Women.

Assigned Article: Joan Hodgman

I plan to go into more detail on Joan's personal life such as where she grew up, her family life, and how she got into medicine. I also plan to expand on her professional life and discuss what she has contributed to medicine.

FIRST DRAFT:

Lead Section: (add to it and fix sources)

Joan Hodgman (7 September 1923 – 10 August 2008) pioneered neonatology after developing an interest for intensive care in newborn infants. She practiced at LA County for over 60 years holding various positions, including Director of the Divisions of Neonatology. She is well known by all practicing neonatologists; Dr. Opas, chief of pediatrics at USC referred to her as one of neonatology's "great sages."( http://articles.latimes.com/2008/aug/17/local/me-hodgman17). Hodgman was unique in her upbringing as her parents always encouraged her to pursue whatever field of study she wanted. She attended medical school at a time when there were very few females in her class and remarks that she can still not explain how she chose neonatology or the field of medicine in the first place (https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/Pediatric-History-Center/Documents/Hodgman.pdf). Hodgman emphasized that she never felt discriminated against during her schooling for being female and was very well supported throughout her training by all of her professors. She accomplished so much in her professional career including receiving the highest award offered in neonatology, the Apgar Award and researching topics such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Her personal life includes her marriage to ***> and two daughters and four grandchildren and summers spent in a little cabin her father built in the Cascade mountains (source)
