@theunconventionaljew: For centuries, a woman’s last name has been decided for her — first by her father, then often by her husband — passed down through a system that rarely asked what she wanted her name to mean. But what if that didn’t have to be the case? What if women could create last names for themselves — names that reflect who they are, not who they’re connected to? Is it possible to build a new naming tradition from scratch, one that doesn’t require tracing a line back to a man? I want to know what you think: should women have the option to choose or even invent their own last names, disconnected from either parent’s lineage? Would you take one yourself if it existed and if so, what would it stand for? #womenforwomen #womensupportingwomen #feminineenergy
