What's In A Name?

Should we take our husband's name when we marry? Is this anti-feminist?

The Anglo-Saxon tradition of a woman taking her husband's name is not widespread across the world. What are the other traditions and what works best?

Also on the programme: How British businesswomen are learning from the micro-credit banking scheme that originated in Bangladesh. Plus, this week's topical diary is a celebration of the Caribbean woman.
