Jordyn Hack: → I would like to add, somewhere in the 'Islamic Feminism' Wikipedia article, a section touching on comparisons of the hijab/islamic garb to religions other than the Muslim religion. I think it would be very interesting to be able to relate the Hijab to other forms of covering, and take a look at how religious beliefs and rituals coincide with one another. I found a book titled "Modest Fashion - styling bodies, mediating faith" that I think I could use in order to show how religions intertwine, specifically regarding different methods of religious head covering through Muslim, Christian, and Jewish religions.

Liz Meuser →I am interested in adding to the article by expanding on the discussion of the veil, specifically in how the decision to wear or not wear is a key debate within Islamic feminism and young Muslim women today. The article only has a brief line in that many men and women view it as a symbol of freedom but does not go beyond that. I would like to reference the Lewis article "Taste and Distinction: The Politics of Style" that we read in class to touch upon how fashion and resistance plays into this. I am also interested in adding something about the recent campaign amongst women and Islamic feminists in Iran surrounding the right to drive — I find that Iran, still being so strict with various legislation/rules against women and the country's interpretation of sharia law would be an interesting case study. I found a journal article titled, "Islamic Feminism in Iran: Feminism in a New Islamic Context." Lizmeuser (talk) 22:00, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Kenzie Smokstad:
I'm also interested in discussing the reclaiming of the meaning of the veil, specifically with Muslim women today and how the meaning of the veil has changed throughout time. I plan to do this through the work of Anne Emmanuelle-Berger, of which I've read academic journals from for other gender studies classes. The specific source is titled, "The Newly Veiled Woman: Irigaray, Specularity, and the Islamic Veil" I enjoyed reading through this piece and I feel it will add relevant insight to the article because Emmanuelle-Berger touches on aspects of reclaiming the veil even before the modern era of the 2000s.

PEER REVIEW 2: Sarah Cohn did a great job with her bio regarding the life of Ava DuVernay. The material she used was vital information that included historical context and made use of great sources. I think the text that she has so far is a great start to her final piece for the article and any tie between historical black female filmmakers and modern figures is interesting and relative. If anything could be added/edited, possibly look to add more sources to make your information even more versatile and credible. ~~ Makenzie Smokstad

PEER REVIEW 2: Celia Grubba has done a fantastic job with her work on the article regarding Black Female Filmmakers. With in depth information about the rise of black women filmmakers with the modern, successful example of Shondra Rhimes, noting that she is the third black female filmmaker to be added to the Television Hall of Fame. I think Celia has great ideas concerning her contribution of her article and I'm looking forward to reading the finished piece. If anything, Celia could add if a discussion of the first African American female filmmakers that were artists before they could even be publicly recognized. Tying together the history of black filmmakers with the present rise could be an incredible addition to the article and the information she has already. ~~ Makenzie Smokstad — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msmoksta (talk • contribs) 06:45, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
