Editing Maiden and married names (section)

==== Feminism ====
The feminist [[Lucy Stone]] (1818–1893) made a national issue of a married woman's right to keep her own surname (as she herself did upon marriage) as part of her efforts for women's rights in the U.S. Because of her, women who choose not to use their husbands' surnames have been called "Lucy Stoners".<ref name = Roiphe2004>{{cite web|work=Slate|date=24 March 2004|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2004/03/the_maiden_name_debate.html|last=Roiphe|first=Katie|author-link=Katie Roiphe|title=The Maiden Name Debate}}</ref> The feminist [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton]] took her husband's surname as part of her own, signing herself Elizabeth Cady Stanton or E. Cady Stanton, but she refused to be addressed as Mrs. Henry B. Stanton. She wrote in 1847 that "the custom of calling women Mrs. John This and Mrs. Tom That and colored men [[Sambo (racial term)|Sambo]] and Zip [[List of ethnic slurs|Coon]], is founded on the principle that white men are lords of all."<ref>Griffith, Elisabeth.

He is Cuffy Douglas or Cuffy Brooks, just whose Cuffy he may chance to be. The woman has no name. She is Mrs. Richard Roe or Mrs. John Doe, just whose Mrs. she may chance to be."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sacred-texts.com/wmn/wb/index.htm |title=The Woman's Bible Index |publisher=Sacred-texts.com |access-date=19 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blackpast.org/1860-elizabeth-cady-stanton-slaves-appeal |title=(1860) Elizabeth Cady Stanton, "A Slave's Appeal" &#124; The Black Past: Remembered and Reclaimed |publisher=The Black Past|date=10 June 2010 }}</ref> 
 
The feminist [[Jane Grant]], co-founder of ''[[The New Yorker]]'', wrote in 1943 of her efforts to keep her name despite her marriage, as well as other women's experiences with their maiden names regarding [[military]] service, passports, [[voting]], and [[Outline of business|business]]. More recently, the feminist [[Jill Filipovic]]'s opposition to name change for women who marry was published in ''The Guardian'' in 2013 as "Why should married women change their names? Let men change theirs", and cited as recommended reading on the theory of [[social construction of gender]] in ''Critical Encounters in Secondary English: Teaching Literacy Theory to Adolescents'' by Deborah Appleman (2014).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/mar/07/women-stop-changing-your-name-when-married |title=Why should married women change their names?
