Best Answer

The term Ms. was created by the Women's Liberation movement in the 1970's as a way for a woman to have a way to identify herself without identifying whether she was married or single. Since men have no similar designation (they are called Mr. whether married or not), Ms. was a way for women to keep the designation private. Ms. magazine is a result of this new title.

What does it mean when a women using Ms before her name instead of Miss or Mrs?

The title "Ms" was originally created by feminists around the early 1970s in order to have a title for women that is equal to the title "Mr" for men. The title "Mr" does not denote whether a man is married or single, and the title "Ms" was meant to be used in the same way, by women either single or married. "Ms" was never meant to be an abbreviation of the word "Miss," as a previous answer to this question stated. It is sad, that after nearly 40 years since being created, that such a question as "What does it mean when a woman uses Ms before her name" would be asked.
