Lucy Stone didn't need to be owned. She wanted to make, and keep, her own name. But did that, ultimately, really mean anything?
I've thought about that a lot, also about changing my name back from my ex-husband's name. But what name would I take? My dad's? It's just another man's name that I would be strapped with. My MOM'S maiden name? Yeah, AND...? That's just yet another man's name.
