Queen

Queen was the title of the female Head of State of a culture still retaining a monarchical system of government, or that of their consort if the Head of State was male.

The fact that a society was ruled by a Queen sometimes indicated that society was matriarchal in nature (though not always, as in the case of late 16th and 20th century Earth).

"Queen" is also often used to denote the key member and progenitor of insect colonies, potentially leading to confusion when dealing with sentient insectoid races. However the hierarchical nature of many of these species and their cultures effectively makes them monarchies.

Spiders do not normally form colonies or have queens, thus she appears to have been a queen in the political rather than biological sense.
