Default Wish I had kept my maiden name (65 years later)!

Feminists fought for the right to keep their maiden name way back in the 1970's. I've not seen "most" young women keep their maiden name - even today! I wish that were true - so that it would have been worth the fight way-back-when. It took a considerable amount of time for it to be "acceptable" to do so. Four children, and several decades into marriage made me change my mind, but I still wish that I had been brave enough back when it wasn't "acceptable"!
