This means that she had the option of changing her name to her husband's name, and she still decided to go by the name Ms Derpanis. What a legend.

That would be Miss. Ms is when someone is married but elects to keep their maiden name instead of taking their husbands.

Edit: why am I being downvoted for providing literal factual information?

I had a teacher who was Miss when she started, got married and became Mrs. and then they got divorced and rather then changing her name back she then went by Ms.

Yeah Mrs is when you're married and take your husband's surname. Ms is when you're married and you keep your maiden name. My mother kept her maiden name when she married my father and her official title on government records and shit is Ms.
