Is a divorced woman referred to as Ms or Mrs?

A divorced woman can be referred to as either "Ms." or "Mrs." The choice often depends on her personal preference; "Ms." is a neutral title that does not indicate marital status, while "Mrs." traditionally suggests she was married. Many divorced women prefer "Ms." to reflect their independence and to avoid the implications of being tied to their former marital status. Ultimately, it's best to use the title the individual prefers.
