What's In a Name — Part II

What about women's names? Does your newspaper still use the sexist Mrs. / Miss? OR Hepzibah Jones? Or does it use the man's name (Jones) and the woman's name with title, Ms. Jones? OR worse yet, her first name, Hepzibah?

Hepzibah? You had to reach for that one! In my novels I use Miss Susan or Mizz Parker all the time. It's the way southern bells talk.
