... that Minnesota legislator Claudia Meier wrote a law freeing women from having to take their husbands' last names, and then took her husband's last name?
Comment: Claudia VIII in the series of claudias! Most of her coverage seems to come from before getting married... might go for a quintuple hook if I actually have the time, but in the meantime, we'll start with this.
Article new and long enough, image is in PD, no copyvio detected. Hook is interesting and passes verification. QPQ done, so to DYKNA this goes. Juxlos (talk) 10:58, 8 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
