The wife or widow of an Earl is called a Countess, as is the wife or widow of a Count.
Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary 7th Edition.
A feminine version of the title Earl was never developed. The wife of an Earl is called a Countess. A female Earl would probably consider themselves a Countess, although they are not married. An Earl is somewhat similar to the Nordic title of Jarl, a female Jarl is called a Jarlin. But there is no official title for a female Earl.

The mother of an earl is typically referred to as a "countess." In British nobility, the title of countess is given to the wife of an earl, but it can also refer to a woman who holds the title in her own right, often inherited. In some cases, if she has a separate title, she may be addressed by that title instead.
Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, a woman is to a countess as an earl is to a countess. Countess is the female equivalent of both earl and woman. It's like a fancy title swap party, but with less dancing and more tea drinking.
An earl is male. The equivalent title for a woman is 'countess'. Since earl is an English word it does not have a gender. The french word for an earl is un comte, the word for a countess is une comtesse.
Mrs. is a title of respect that may be used to address a married woman. Ms. is preferable, especially if you do not know what the woman's preferred title is, or if you do not know the marital status of the woman.
The title for a woman married to a man who has received a knighthood and is called Sir is typically "Lady." She may also be referred to as "Lady [Last Name]" or simply "Lady" followed by her husband's first name. However, if the woman has her own title or rank, she may retain that title.
Mrs, means that the lady is a married woman.
Mrs., the abbreviation for Mistress, is a title for a married woman or a widow. Ms. is a title used for a woman whose marital status is unknown or irrelevant (as in business). The letters Ms. are not an abbreviation of a word, they are an amalgamation drawn from the letters of Miss and Mrs.
