"Miss" is a title of respect given to an unmarried woman. After she marries, she is called "Mrs." (pronounced "missus") which is short for the now-archaic "Mistress."

Many women opt for the more universal "Ms." (pronounced "miz"), in order to maintain the same privacy about their marital status that men have, who are addressed as "Mr." ("mister") whether they're married or not.
