Dame is the same thing as a Knight is for a man, except when a woman is knighted in the United Kingdom, she is addressed as Dame whatever, just as a knight would be addressed as Sir Alexander, or Sir George, etc. Knighthoods are usually only given for very high acheivement, but probably sometimes for very high birth.
