Part on Politics

I would like to edit this article by adding a section about politics and the role Venezuelan women play in them. I plan to divide it in two parts, one on the women's movement during the revolution and how feminism has developed and the other on women representation in political institutions. The information I gathered can be accessed by everyone through the internet and most of the references are also in English with a couple exceptions in Spanish. Some are academic articles, while other sources come from reliable and independent websites like Venezuelananalisis.com or Women Across Borders. Juloga (talk) 11:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements on Article

I have already updated the numbers and references of the infobox and I am planing to improve the part of "Gender Roles". The video of the New York Times on Venezuela's strict beauty standards could be summarised. The part of "Violence against women" should include a summary of the article it redirects. Finally, the introduction requires citations and more detail about what is meant with the differing roles of urban and rural women. Juloga (talk) 11:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions This article has a lot of unattributed opinion, stated as fact. The chavismo view of women in Venezuela is not the only view, and each of the opinions in the article should be attributed to the author of that opinion. As examples, text saying "the sky is blue" can be stated as fact, and cited as fact. Text like, "John Brown states that the sky is not blue, rather turquoise", can be cited to John Brown's opinion. This article is full of opinions about women that reflect a chavismo bias rather than fact, and all such statements should be attributed to the author of the opinion, making it clear the statements are not fact.
Also, Venezuelanalysis.com is not a reliable source; please do not re-insert their opinion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:02, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Section

There are three (3) lead sections, from my understanding, in the article: Issues, Politics, and Law. "Issues" as a lead section is not sufficient as it (the lead sentence, the lead paragraph, the lead section) does not describe "Women in Venezuela" at all. At least an introductory sentence is needed to the overall topic before getting into any of the larger subcategories. Lorenlacruz (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Descriptions

NoonIcarus can you provide more context for Inés Quintero and Margarita López Maya, as "examples", I think this list should be centered on achievements that people can easily recognize. ReyHahn (talk) 22:08, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ReyHahn: I was worried that I would be able to add more details, knowing they're both prominent historians, but I didn't recall that Inés Quintero was member of the National Academy of History or other positions of Margarita López Maya. I'll bear in mind if other details need to be added. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:52, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TV

There is a whole section or women that could be listed for the contributions to TV and acting. Like Valentina Quintero [es]. ReyHahn (talk) 14:28, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
