2. WHY do the authors think this is important? Is there a ?bigger question? or body of knowledge in Women?s Studies to which their piece contributes? What difference would it make if their argument is right?

3. HOW is the argument made? Outline the sequence of ideas, or steps in the argument presented. How do the authors make their case? What knowledge, background, or evidence do they bring to their argument? On what do they rely for evidence?
