Is overlady the opposite of overlord?

Is overlady the opposite of overlord? Or is overlord one of those all encompassing words?

Don't think overlady is a word at all.

o·ver·lord (ō'vər-lôrd') pronunciation
n.

1. A lord having power or supremacy over other lords.
2. One in a position of supremacy or domination over others.

Underlord?

I think she means "Is overlady the female equivalent of overlord?" in which case, i'd answer that the female equivalent is "wife".
