Olivia Plath and estranged husband Ethan are separated, but she identifies more with her married name than maiden name
Olivia Plath and estranged husband Ethan were married for five years. In that time, the Plath name became part of her identity.
“My last name being Plath, it's been that way for my entire adult life,” she explained. “I got married as kind of a sheltered kid and changed my name at that time. There's no reason why I would go back to my maiden name. I'm not that girl anymore.” “Everything I've done as an adult has been in this name,” she added. “And also there's a staunch feminist part of me that is very against the idea of last names belonging to men. It’s assimilation of letters that we use to identify people and who cares if it's my name? It's not harming or hurting anyone else.”
“I just came to the realization that it was a pattern,” she said. “I didn't want to continue. The fundamentals of the relationship hadn't changed, the foundation hadn't changed. It's just kicking a can down the road and that's a pattern I don't want to repeat for the rest of my life. It's a pattern I don't want to bring kids into.”
