divorced woman is a Ms. Once the divorce is executed, the women in no longer a Mrs.
A divorced woman is a Mrs. If her name is Sally Reid and she was married and now divorced from Peter Reid she is no longer Mrs. Peter Reid. As a divorced woman she is now Mrs. Sally Reid. Those saying a divorced woman is a Ms. are incorrect. A divorced woman, a single woman, or a married woman may choose to use Ms. Ms.basically means "guess" or "my marital status is none of your business."
Ms. Since she has not husband and since the society permits her to go for other marriage if she wishes, she should be considered as Ms. only.
It is Miss if your NOT married and Ms. if your divorced If You ARE married it is Mrs.
Traditionally in England a woman called Mary, married to a man called John Smith, would be known as "Mrs John Smith" when married, and as "Mrs Mary Smith" when divorced. Many women nowadays prefer to be known as "Mrs Mary Smith" even when married. Divorced women may also be known as "Ms Mary Smith" ('Ms' is pronounced 'Muz'). "Ms" is also used by single women who do not like "Miss". The previous answerer, who is obviously doesn't like traditional forms, wrote "Anything but Mrs." Of course it is always courteous to address a woman by the way she has said she prefers; some divorced women revert to their maiden name.
Ms or Miss either one would be appropriate.
Mrs -we used when the woman is married; Ms -we use when we do not know whether the woman is married or not, and we do not want to hurt her.
'Mrs' indicates a married woman, 'Ms' does not indicate marital status.
Whichever she prefers.
Mrs., the abbreviation for Mistress, is a title for a married woman or a widow. Ms. is a title used for a woman whose marital status is unknown or irrelevant (as in business). The letters Ms. are not an abbreviation of a word, they are an amalgamation drawn from the letters of Miss and Mrs.
Ms. (pronounced miz) may be used for any woman whether married or single. Mrs. (pronounced misus) is used to refer to a married or formerly married (divorced or widowed) woman in order to specify her marital state. Etiquette does not require either term of address and it is best to use the term a specific woman prefers, if known. If her marital status is unknown then it is best to use Ms. rather than Miss or Mrs.
The abbreviation Mrs. is derived from the archaic term Mistress as the feminine version of Mister. In common parlance Mrs. is reserved for a married person.
