Changing the main title of the article

edit

I think the name of the article should be renamed to "María de la O Lejárraga", as that was her actual, legal name. Women do not take the last names of their husbands in Spain, and maintain their own throughout their lives. In the case of María de la O Lejárraga, she used the last names "Martínez Sierra", belonging to her husband, as a pseudonym, but was never her actual name.

Furthermore, maintaining the article under the last names of her husband helps to lean on the thought that her written work was a collaboration between Gregorio and her, when is has been proven than most of it was written by her and then appropriated under Gregorio's name. In the Spanish version of this article, her name is listed correctly and then in the text is clarified that she did use the last names "Martínez Sierra" as a pseudonym.
