I hear often the argument that for a woman to keep her own name at marriage, and pass it on to their children "is hardly a feminist statement: it's been handed down from father to son for generations." This is true - but isn't it true for one's partner's name as well? So, given that all other things are equal :-) when it comes to names, I do see a feminist reason to hold on to one's own. While both my husband's and my own name have been inherited through male lineages, at least mine has already been mine for quite a while and I have identified with it - as far as self-identification with a name goes.Anca Gheausnoreply@blogger.com
