If she were to publish today, she would probably still publish under that maiden name (indeed, she produced an illustration for my phd thesis several years ago, which was signed with her maiden name). Even if a person changes their legal name, they often continue to publish under their old name. If you want to be recognized, it is generally best to pick a name and stick with it. | |

Except it loosely translates to foreman and I do construction, so.... - Where would someone be from that an implicit and unconscious bias exists in academia against them? India? China? Not AFAIC if you want to be a doctor. You wanna teach? Then no, sorry; can't understand you. - It sucks that this is a thing, but to ignore it outright would be a silly way to play the hand. | |

As for worrying about my first name sounding "foreign", I am mostly concerned about implicit and unconscious bias that unfortunately exist in academia, but that's a good point. | |
