Our names make us who we are. What do people have to say about a woman taking her husbands name in marriage?

Women are viewed differently depending on what name they choose to take. Fight against societal norms and allow women to freely choose their name.

Why is there an R in Mrs? And where does it come from?

Normalise honouring your identity and crediting your successes and achievements to yourself!

As we’re planning on getting married after I graduate, my partner asked me to defend my dissertation as Dr. [His Last Name].

Gender oppression is writing a whole 5-yr dissertation to get this accomplishment only to have someone else jumping to put their name on it. Smdh🤦🏻‍♀️

[Gretchen Baskerville-Life-Saving Divorce @GGBaskerville]

I kept my married name after my divorce b/c young kids. But I can see the benefits of going back to one's maiden name or legally changing names too. It allows you greater freedom to speak out about what happened.

What's in a name? Would you still recognise these powerful men by name if they had their spouse's surname?

[#HerNameMatters @hernamematters]

Societal pressure and government regulations designed by men enforce this backward notion of the 'male line' taking precedence over the 'female line'. Men do not face the societal or government pressure to give up their identity.
We demand legislative change for this to stop.

[#HerNameMatters @hernamematters]

What is #HerNameMatters?
A campaign to abolish the foundation of an unequal and patriarchal society which pressures on women to adopt the surnames of their fathers and husbands. We aim to empower and educate on the suppression of the female identity through legislation.
