Lucy Stone League (thing)

Organization named after Lucy Stone. From http://www.lucystoneleague.org:

The Lucy Stone League is dedicated to:

• Equal rights for women and men to retain, modify and create their names, because a person's name is fundamental to her/his existence.
• Equal actual frequency of name retention, modification and creation between men and women at marriage and throughout life.
• Equality of patrilineal/matrilineal name distribution for children.

The Lucy Stone League was originally founded in the United States in 1921 with goals that included those of the current league, but also aimed at more general feminist goals, many of which are now the objectives of the National Organization for Women. The League disbanded, was re-born in the 1950's, but then expired again. It was rejuvenated in November 1997, and plans to remain in operation until its goals are achieved.
