Who are you?

I read this with interest...

The influence of my very feminist Language and Gender lecturer from Linguistics 202 has resulted in me filling in every form as 'Ms' since my second year. I do this every time I fill in a form, and should there be only the Mrs or Miss options I insert my own Ms.

But the article raised a good question. As a single woman I don't feel that I have to advertise the fact, nor is it in anyone else's interest as to whether or not I am married. 'Miss' smacks of availibility, 'Mrs' of ownership. But when I get married one day, will I feel the same? Will I not want to be referred to as 'Mrs So-and-so' for the first time after my wedding? My feelings tell me, maybe I will. Maybe I will want to keep my last name too, or maybe I will take that of my husband's. Sadly, such a cumbersome moniker as mine does not lend itself to double-barrell-ing, so it's one or the other.

Maybe I don't know about it yet because it's not a reality yet.
