The titles given to women can be quite confusing and challenging to non-native speakers <em> and </em>  native speakers.<p>Men have it easy. They are the  <em> entitled </em> sex. <strong> Mr </strong> (Mister) is a title which can be worn comfortably like a pair of old slippers by any man at any time, from <em> Mr President </em> to <em> Mr Jones </em> who lives around the corner and drives a taxi.<p> <blockquote><p><span style="color: #800000"> <strong> Subscribe to our blog and receive regular updates by email (details on the right-hand column) </strong> </span></blockquote><p> <p>Addressing a woman is a little more complicated. There are three main options; <strong> Ms </strong> (pronounced Mizz), which startles many non-native speakers, and <strong> Mrs </strong> and <strong> Miss </strong> .<p>Titles are important. Just ask any <em> president </em> or <em> director </em> . Titles that describes half of the human population should be well-understood and used correctly, which is not as simple as it sounds in today’s fast-evolving and militant world of identity politics.<p>Here’s a <em> rough </em> guide <em> . </em> But first, a simple piece of advice: <strong> If you are not sure, then simply ask the woman in question which identity she prefers.  </strong><p><strong> Mrs </strong> (pron. <em> missus </em> ) – means married woman. This a term that is losing favour in more liberal circles and among professional and younger women. <em> Mrs </em> , many say, defines a woman in relation to her husband. It has the connotation of someone with less control over their life who is happy to play second fiddle to their husband. <strong> Mrs Karen Pence </strong> , the wife of the US Vice-President <strong> Mike Pence </strong> , might embrace the title. My daughter would vehemently oppose it. Ironically, the title Mrs was once used to describe an independent, successful woman who may have been married, single or even divorced.<p><strong> Miss </strong> – means unmarried. It has been used historically for both girls and older unmarried women (also known as <strong> spinsters </strong> ). It is now considered old-fashioned and sexist by many as it defines women by their (lack of) marital status or relationship with men. It is used in formal situations to describe girls, but less and less for younger and older women. The term <em> Miss </em> is moving out of official use just as <em> Mademoiselle </em> is disappearing from French.<blockquote><h3 style="text-align: left"><strong> Both Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton </strong></h3><h3 style="text-align: left"><strong> opted to be <em> Mrs </em> , probably because they </strong></h3><h3 style="text-align: left"><strong> didn’t want to alienate </strong></h3><h3 style="text-align: left"><strong> older and more conservative voters. </strong></h3></blockquote><p>And then there’s <strong> Ms </strong> (pronounced Mizz) – a <em> neutral </em> term for a woman, just like <em> Mr </em> is to men. <em> Ms </em> doesn’t indicate if a woman is married or not. <em> Ms </em> only began to assert itself in the 1990s. <em> Ms </em> is now the default title for women.<p>So, you would say:<p><em> I’d like to present the new member of our team, Ms Catherine Du Pont. Ms Du Pont joins us after three years in a French investment company. Ms Du Pont will take over the client advisory role and… </em><p>Or you could simply say:<p><em> I’d like to present the new member of our team, Catherine Du Pont. Catherine joins us after working for… </em><p>And you would write:<p><em> Dear Ms Guardiola </em><p><em> Thank for you interest in our products. I have enclosed … </em><p><em> Dear Ms Williams </em><p><em> Unfortunately, we have no vacancies available at the moment. </em><p>You can also indicate your preference by signing off with your preferred title:<p><em> Yours sincerely </em><p><em> (Ms) Géraldine Noix </em><p>So, as a general rule:<p>In a professional environment you <u> should not </u> address a woman as <em> Mrs, </em> unless she specifically asks to be called <em> Mrs </em> . As stated above, the default title for a woman today is <em> Ms </em> .<p>At the same time it should be noted that both <strong> Michelle Obama </strong> and <strong> Hillary Clinton </strong> opted to be <em> Mrs </em> , probably because they didn’t want to alienate older and more conservative voters.<p><strong> The Washington Post </strong> editorial board calls her <em> Ms Clinton </em> but has also run several stories that call her <em> Mrs Clinton </em> .<p><strong> The New York Times </strong> automatically refers to women as <em> Ms </em> until they express a preference. The Times believes <em> Ms </em> is more “progressive”.<p>The term <em> Ms </em> can be traced back to the 17th century. It was originally an abbreviation of <em> mistress </em> which then meant “ <em> the lady of the house”. </em><p>In the early 1900s, <em> The Republican </em> newspaper in Springfield in Massachusetts USA wrote:<p><em> There is a void in the English language which, with some </em> <strong> <em> diffidence </em> </strong> <em> , we undertake to fill. Everyone has been put in an embarrassing position by ignorance of the status of some woman. To call a </em> <strong> <em> maiden </em> </strong> <em> Mrs is only </em> <strong> <em> a </em> </strong> <strong> <em> shade worse </em> </strong> <em> than to insult a matron with the inferior title Miss. Yet it is not always easy to know the facts… Now, clearly, what is needed is a more comprehensive term which does </em> <strong> <em> homage </em> </strong> <em> to the sex without expressing any views as to their domestic situation, and what could be simpler or more logical than the retention of what the two doubtful terms have in common. The abbreviation “Ms” is simple, it is easy to write, and the person concerned can translate it properly according to circumstances. </em><p>The term <strong> didn’t stick </strong> . It was re-floated in the 1950s but only took off in the 1970s. Feminist advocate <strong> Sheila Michaels </strong> began advocating for <em> Ms </em> in the early 1960s.<p> <blockquote><h3><em> Ms </em> is here to stay. So, if you wish to speak English</h3><h3>correctly, both linguistically and politically,</h3><h3><em> Ms </em> (once again, that’s pronounced Mizz),</h3><h3>is a term to learn and use.</h3><p> </blockquote><p><em> Marvel Comics </em> introduced <strong> Ms Marvel </strong> a female version of <strong> Captain Marvel </strong> in 1968.  But the title leap-frogged into the vernacular when <a href=http://www.gloriasteinem.com/> Gloria Steinem </a> , US activist and feminist organiser, heard Ms Michaels singing the praises of Ms during a radio interview. Steinem decided the term <em> Ms </em> would be perfect for a new magazine for women she was in the process of co-founding.<p><strong> <a href=http://www.msmagazine.com>   <em> Ms. magazine </em> </a> </strong>  (see photo above) was launched as a one-off insert in <em> <strong> New York Magazine </strong> </em> in December 1971. It sold 300,000 copies nationwide in eight days. It generated 26,000 subscription orders and over 20,000 reader letters within weeks.<p>Two titles were born and still exist today.<p><em> Ms </em> has taken some time to achieve its <strong> ascendancy </strong> . In the 1980s journalists (at least in Australia) were expected to ask women if they preferred to be called <em> Ms </em> , <em> Mrs </em> or <em> Miss </em> . By the 90s, <em> Ms </em> was the default title. The Oxford Dictionary has this definition:<p><em> a title used before the surname or full name of any woman regardless of her marital status (a neutral alternative to <strong> Mrs </strong> or <strong> Miss </strong> ): Ms Sarah Brown </em> .<p> <blockquote><h3>If you are not sure, then simply ask</h3><h3>the woman in question</h3><h3>which identity she prefers.</h3><p> </blockquote><p><em> Ms </em> is here to stay. So, if you wish to speak English correctly, both linguistically and politically, <em> Ms </em> (once again, that’s pronounced Mizz), is a term to learn and use.<p>I suggest you master <em> Ms </em> (pun intended) as quickly as possible. There’s a whole other level of titles knocking loudly at the mainstream door.<p>HSBC Bank now allows clients to choose from 13 titles when opening their bank account..<p>As well as <strong> Mr </strong> , <strong> Mrs </strong> , <strong> Ms </strong> , customers can choose from 10 non-gender specific titles (see below).<p><strong> Mx </strong> – pronounced “Mix” or “Mux”<p><strong> Ind </strong> – an abbreviation of individual<p><strong> M </strong> – an abbreviation used in France<p><strong> Misc </strong> – an abbreviation of miscellaneous<p><strong> Mre </strong> – for “mystery”<p><strong> Msr </strong> – a combination of Miss and Sir<p><strong> Myr </strong> – used in other parts of the world<p><strong> Pr </strong> – an abbreviation of person, pronounced “per”<p><strong> Sai </strong> – pronounced “sigh”, used in Asia<p><strong> Ser </strong> – pronounced “sair” used in Latin America<p> <p> <aside class="mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched"><div class=mashsb-box><div class=mashsb-buttons><a class="mashicon-facebook mash-large mash-center mashsb-noshadow"href=https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.letemps.ch%2Fgarry-littman%2F2018%2F10%2F28%2Fms-mrs-or-miss%2F rel=nofollow target=_top> <span class=icon> </span> <span class=text> Facebook </span> </a><a class="mashicon-twitter mash-large mash-center mashsb-noshadow"href=https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Ms%2C%20Mrs%20or%20Miss%3F&url=https://blogs.letemps.ch/garry-littman/2018/10/28/ms-mrs-or-miss/ rel=nofollow target=_top> <span class=icon> </span> <span class=text> Twitter </span> </a><div class="onoffswitch2 mash-large mashsb-noshadow"style=display:none;></div></div></div><div style=clear:both;></div><div class=mashsb-toggle-container></div></aside></div><footer class=entry-meta></footer></div><div class="post-inner-content secondary-content-box"><div class="author-bio content-box-inner"><div class=avatar><img class="avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-60 photo"alt data-del=avatar height=60 src=https://blogs.letemps.ch/garry-littman/wp-content/uploads/sites/216/2021/03/Director-Garry-Littman.jpg width=60></div><div class=author-bio-content><h4 class=author-name><a href=https://blogs.letemps.ch/garry-littman/author/garry-littman/> Garry Littman </a></h4><p class=author-description>Garry Littman est le fondateur de The Language House à Genève.
