The term Ms was created during the 70's as part of the women's liberation movement. In fact, the magazine started by Gloria Steinem still has this as its title. The term Ms is a cross between Miss and Mrs. and its a way for a woman to identify herself without revealing whether she is married or single. For men, their title is Mr. and it is irrelevant (in terms of title) whether he is married or not. However, women were required to designate whether they were married or single single until this term came about.
A widowed women would still be Mrs. but her husband's first name is removed. For example, if Jane Doe is married to Dr. John Doe, her proper title is Mrs. John Doe. However, once Mr. Doe passes, she becomes Mrs. Jane Doe - retaining the Mrs. but removing her husband's first name. Or, she could also opt to go with Ms. Jane Doe if she didn't want her marital status to becrevealed.
