It started in France as "Madame" Young unmarried women are "Miss" and women's lib changed it to "Ms" so you don't know if the young woman is married or not married. "Mrs." is for married women and I don't mind the "Mrs." one darn bit. Even today many younger women are preferring to keep their own surnames in marriage and not take on the surname of their new husband. I can see this if a woman is famous or has started a company under their single surname. Some women will have her surname linked with that as your husband's" Mrs. Ryan-Jones.
