Ms. is a product of the feminist era, in response to the fact that is Miss or Mrs. indicates their marriage status. Technically, Miss or Mrs. are related to other languages such as the Spanish Senora or Senorita. Orignally, this indicated whether or not the woman is a virgin, not just married/unmarried as we use it today.
Ms. allows a woman to remain silent on the issue of her marital status, and gives them equal standing to the Mr. of their male counterparts.
A widow traditionally remains "Mrs. Smith" or (old school) "Mrs. James Smith", even after her husband passes. Optionally she could begin using Ms. just as she could have when her husband was alive.
