Interesting neutral article and interesting hook. More than long enough and the article and hook are well referenced. No evidence of close paraphrasing and the image is free licensed. I boldly edited the hook to shorten it slightly. Do hope this makes the picture hook. She has a statue and her heroic husband has a monument. Another Woman in Red made blue. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 10:33, 5 April 2021 (UTC) Note: if "her husband after he" was changed to "her heroic husband" then my tick still applies. I think this would be more hooky.

- Victuallers, thanks for the review. Sure, that addition is fine with me, of course. Will leave the ultimate decision to promoter and the folks who copyedit the hooks. DanCherek (talk) 16:00, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
