Mr. / Mrs. / Miss. / Ms.

When I opened my coursbook a few years ago, I found these four things in the first unit. (Introducing yourself) Some students asked the reason for using three for women. (In Korean, we only have just one for both men and women.) I couldn't explain well at that time.

Why are there two more for women?
Ms. was made later than Mrs. and Miss. Then who made it? For what reason?

It has been more than 50 years (Am I correct?) since it was made by feminists. But many people (men & women both) just use Mrs. Miss., and prefer to use it. Why? ...

I was just wondering..
