Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
- -- started one
Basic biographical information required, including date and place of birth
- -- couldn't find this with a quick search but see note below.
Lead needs slimming and material moving to main article
- -- did some trimming
'Education' and Faculty appointments sections need to be rewritten in prose
- -- Done
Information on work, writings and research should be expanded
- Leaving that to someone else
Section on 'Criticisms' should be expanded to present a balanced picture of The Female Brain, possibly drawing from the existing article
- --Made a quick mention, someone else can expand
References should be expanded
- --Leave this for someone else
External links present which could be used to expand article
- --Not sure in what way?

This page should not be speedy deleted because...

Although the article needs rewriting to make it seem a lot less like an advertisement, the author is genuinely notable as a woman scientist and author. I may be able to help by creating a scientist info box. Please feel free to contact me again if my help is needed. Invertzoo (talk) 15:06, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I quickly trimmed the article a bit and started a scientist infobox. Invertzoo (talk) 15:18, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth?

I don't seem to be able to find her date of birth online, but it seems that this article once had December 30th, 1952 as her birth date. However I have no idea where that was sourced from. Invertzoo (talk) 15:31, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
