Sir's counterpart (4)

I believe the answer is:

maam

(Other definitions for maam that I've seen before include "Polite address to Queen" , "Lady's address" , "Respectful address to the Queen" , "Formal address to a lady" , "HRH" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
