It means one of three things: 1) she's not married; 2) she's in a career where being married could be detrimental to her professional status (corporate exec., politics); 3) She has something to hide.

Ms. does not necessary mean your status. It is just a polite way to address a woman when you are not really sure of her status married or not married.

No.
Personally, I advocate the way the French do it--
A simple M. ( for either Mr. Ms. or Mrs.) Smith (or whatever) is the simplest way.

Being listed without gender specified is highly desirable in todays loony world.

Miss shows you are not married
Mrs shows you are married
Ms does not deliniate, much the same as Mr

Mrs. means that you are married. So if a woman emphasized that she's a "Ms." not a "Mrs." shes just making it known that she IS NOT married.

ms means you are not married and is also used by young girls. mrs means you are married. nothing more nothing less

lots of married women also prefer to be called Ms. because Mrs. implies that you're now the Mr.'s property. it's all pretty stupid to me but it has to do with the femenist movement.


A person who needs help!
Ms. is a title that says you are not married.

Mrs. says that you ARE married.
