Many married women choose Ms. for professional or personal reasons.

mrs meaning woman
In English, "Mrs." is a title used before the surname of a married woman. It is an abbreviation of "Mistress," which historically referred to a woman of authority or a married woman. Today, it specifically denotes marital status, distinguishing it from "Miss" (for an unmarried woman) or "Ms." (for a woman where marital status is not specified). It does not simply mean "woman" in general, as that would be too broad.

In English, the traditional title for a married woman is "Mrs.," which is typically followed by her husband's last name (e.g., Mrs. Smith) or, in modern usage, her own last name if she chooses to keep it. "Ms." is a neutral alternative that does not indicate marital status and can be used for married women who prefer it, similar to how "Mr." is used for men regardless of marital status. Other titles like "Dr." or professional ones may supersede these if applicable.
