This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2014. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Rice University/History of Chinese Women Through Time (Spring 2014)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

The existing article is currently rated as a mid-importance article, but is only a stub class article, which means there are several aspects that can be improved.The article does not fully address the history of the federation, discuss the complex relationship between the federation and the Chinese government, examine the ideology and structure of the group, or address the complex challenges facing the federation currently, such as its NGO status. These changes will address the content issues within the article, and I also plan on tackling some of the editorial issues within the article. The article suffers from a lack of academic sources. More sources would address the content issues, and relying on academic sources will make sure the changes are accurate. Some journals I plan on consulting include the International Feminist Journal of Politics, Communist and Post Communist Studies, and World Development. I plan on expanding the introduction, adding sections covering the aspects of the federation I discussed above, and increasing the number of relevant links in the See Also section. This contribution is part of a class for Rice University, so please feel free to give advice or suggestions concerning this article. Shelby McPherson (talk) 03:01, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It may also be a good idea to look into adding a "criticism" section. I was just browsing around for info on the ACWF when I found this remarkable op-ed: "China’s ‘Leftover’ Women". It's not an academic source, but it's written by a doctoral student and its claims certainly seem to provide a potential area of investigation. TI. Gracchus (talk) 09:13, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
