Traditionally in England a woman called Mary, married to a man called John Smith, would be known as "Mrs John Smith" when married, and as "Mrs Mary Smith" when divorced. Many women nowadays prefer to be known as "Mrs Mary Smith" even when married. Divorced women may also be known as "Ms Mary Smith" ('Ms' is pronounced 'Muz'). "Ms" is also used by single women who do not like "Miss". The previous answerer, who is obviously doesn't like traditional forms, wrote "Anything but Mrs." Of course it is always courteous to address a woman by the way she has said she prefers; some divorced women revert to their maiden name.
