Comments:

1. The long URL address of each article from databases is not necessary. Just give part of it, for example, the first one, http://find.galegroup.com.cwplib.proxy.liu.edu, is enough, with the name of the database, since without legal access, the readers cannot get this article anyway, even with the complete address.

2. The two articles about Japanese women are a little too old, one in 1994, and the other in 1983, which might not show the present situation of women labor in Japan.

3. The URL addresses of No. 3 and No. 5 are weird. Please check again.
