I suppose I'm more upset about the assumption that women are supposed to unthinkingly change their names with marriage. <br /><br />I think self-employment and writing are some big exceptions in general. For example, if I had published something under Rachel McCready, or Ian had published something under Ian Flora, we probably would've kept our last names or both assumed the same last name as the published person.

There are a lot of almost taboos things when you have your period, kind of like you're dirty. For example, if you walk through a garden, you'll kill everything at that time of the month. It makes me wonder how much of the sickness here is psychological and how much physical (this is also a country where girls have accepted fainting and hysterical fits).Sarah Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747009640145682816.post-74736468129854038722012-12-04T09:58:12.651-05:002012-12-04T09:58:12.651-05:00What a lovely post Rachel.
