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.

Ms. is used regardless of married status. When one is not sure if a woman is married or single, it is best to use Ms. before their name.
