Mrs. is indicative of a married woman. The feminists invented Ms. because they wanted the option of indicating that they are female without having to reveal whether they are married, single, or otherwise. Because "Mr." is the same regardless of whether the man is married or not, women wanted the same right to display their title as such.

Mrs. refers to a married woman. Many divorced women prefer Ms. since they are neither a Mrs. or a Miss.

Mrs. usually implies you are married. Ms. is usually used for a single woman

Mrs. means the lady is married, and Ms. means they are not married.

Mrs is married
Miss is single
Ms is married, single or divorced ... in other words, nobody's business. It was something that came out of the Womens' Liberation Movement in the 1970's.

Mrs. is short for "Mistress." Mrs. is reserved for married women.
Miss is short for "Missus." Miss is reserved for unmarried women (usually young women).
Ms. is a neutral title for women of all ages and marital status. It is typically used as a fail-safe. I usually use it when I am not sure if the woman is married.
Hope it helps.
