Ms. is a term for an older unmarried woman who is single, divorced, or a widow. It can also be used when you do not know the martial status of a woman because it is a term of respect. A person who is a "Miss" is usually younger and has not been married at all compared to "Ms" for a woman who has been married.
Answer:
Ms. (pronounced Mizz) is the honorific used when addressing a woman of any age or marital status. Like calling a man Master for a youth or Mister for an old or mature man, calling a woman Miss or Mrs. indicates a "need" to address her marital status in her title. The French have led the way in this matter abandoning the Mlle./Mme. designations (based on age and marital status) for the common title Mme. Hopefully English will move away from such chauvinistic titles as they already have for Spinster for an older unmarried woman and Widow for a woman who was married but whose husband is dead.

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.
