All the commentary about businesses not wanting to hire women is the most absurd set of assertions ever posted. In the real world it is no longer 1953.
It might depend on where you live. I was shocked at what businesses did when I moved on Cape Cod. They required us to answer questions that would be illegal elsewhere. Such as telling them what clubs and organizations we were, what our religion was and if a female if married, planning to get married, planning to get pregnant, asking how many children we had and their ages. Also asked us to divulge any medical conditions.
Now I can understand them telling us what was required of us for that job such as being able to lift 50 pounds and work a flexible schedule, then asking if there was anything that would prevent us from being able to do those things, then giving us the option of checking "yes" or "no".
I was also told by many people that I should use my Maiden name which is English or Scottish. My married last name is Italian and at that point in time (20some years ago), Italians were not liked there. I even tried applying at an Italian grocery store but was told that they couldn't hire me because I wasn't really Italian.
