      First of all, I think that this is an important and carefully written article that reflects on many points that are important for (historical) data-driven research. I have added a few comments, feel free to ignore or use them as you see fit. Regarding the title: I understand your point. However, for me it was not necessarily clear from the title what this article would be about. Maybe it could still be more precise (something like this: Towards Critical Data Feminism and Beyond: ...). The title as it is really sounds a bit like Data Feminism is lacking.

    2. These figures exemplify the gender data gap within historical authority records and its implications for digital historical research.

      As a literary scholar, I suggest adding information on letter writing as a gendered acitivity - letters were an accepted genre for women in 18th and 19th century literature, much more than other genres. If possible, it would be good to show that much of the non-quantitative research which actually made all this research now possible was also done by women, often in the 1980es who started looking for what is missing from the canon (Brinker-Gabler, Barbara Becker Cantarino). What I always realise is that there have been many attempts before now to make female writing more visible.

    3. In such data work, Data Feminism can serve as a methodology that complements what is known in the Humanities as source criticism.‍

      is data feminism on the same epistemological level as source criticism? Or does it serve as a theoretical frame for ethical concerns in source criticism? Or both? It might be helpful to clarify the status here a bit more.
