Dear Nancy,
Absolutely females should be indexed by both maiden and married name.
The entry by married name should include the maiden name. E.g.
Smith, Mary
Jones, Mary (Smith)
If she's married more than once there should be entries for all.
Smith, Mary
Jones, Mary (Smith)
Brown, Mary (Smith) (Jones)
White, Mary (Smith) (Jones) (Brown)
If you're using justification in your text, be sure you turn it off for
the index or the spacing for longer entries will be ugly.
Good that you're doing an index! It's so discouraging to find a
promising book and then find no index or an inadequate one.
Good luck,
Helen
