If a woman is stopped from putting her name on her product, what is the problem?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Her identity and credit for her work are undermined
Having her name on a product gives public recognition to a woman’s work, skill and contribution. Preventing this denies her due credit and can weaken her identity as the producer. Ownership is a separate legal or economic issue; not displaying her name does not automatically give her equal ownership. Exam tip: Link a maker’s name with credit and recognition of labour.
