Mrs. means you're married and miss means you're not. But don't even think of calling a woman Mrs. or Ma'am if you are older than her. Or come to think of it... younger. At all. We like to be thought of as misses at all times. No exception....

Most languages, including English, have different honorifics for married and unmarried women.
For example, in Spanish they use Señorita for unmarried women and Señora for married women.

In English, Miss was traditionally used for unmarried women and Mrs. for married women.

However, back in the 70's some feminist English speakers were offended by the defining of women according to their legal relationships with a man and they created the term Ms. for both married and unmarried women alike (not the divorced and widowed, as one answerer suggested!)
