The word "Ms." was coined less than 70 years ago to be used before women's names regardless of their marital status. I'm curious to know how common it is today in the English-speaking counties, say America.
Are "Miss" and "Mrs" still a common way of calling women?
And how do women think of or react to referring to them in terms of their marital status (or perhaps defining their identity in this way from a feminist viewpoint?)

"Ms" is usually used to indicate a married woman that hasn't changed her name, these days. Both "Miss" and "Mrs." are commonly used. The former there is used for unmarried women, and "Mrs." for married women that have changed their names.
