No. For many, many, many years women were formally addressed as "Mrs. [Husband's first and last name]" rather than their own married name in polite company. Still happens today but it is becoming less common.

I remember my grandma being referred to like that, and I always felt it horrifying that women essentially lost their own names in this way once in married Society basically changed your name to make you an accessory to a guy.
