- The author, a lesbian writer, critiques the societal default of women adopting their husbands' surnames upon marriage, arguing that the decision should be a conscious choice rather than an unexamined tradition. She suggests that couples should instead select surnames based on which one sounds better or offers more professional success, using a humorous hypothetical courtroom setting to illustrate her point.
