and not mistress either, for that can have multiple and perhaps negative meanings.

Depends on how you are using Master.
If you are looking for the equivalent of the word in use of family titles, a family would be described as Mr. & Mrs. Parker, their son Master Jonathon and their daughter Miss Julie.
If you want an equivalent of Master of the House, then it would be Mistress of the House.
If you are looking for an equivalent of "He is the Master in the bedroom, then it would be "She is the Mistress of the bedroom". And yes, Dominatrix can be used insted.
If you just want a substitute to describe a woman in charge, then try, boss, queen, head b***h in charge, authority, chief, empress, expert, dictator, commander, high priestess, princess, star, potentate, subject matter expert, leader, principal, director, superior, principle, leader, captain.

Mistress is the technical female equivalent to Master. Madam to Sir. Most titles can have double meaning.

In the British Isles, school teachers are sometimes referred to as school masters and school mistresses, so mistress is acceptable and without negative connotation, at least in that context.

Hmm... I'm not sure, but can't "master" have negative meanings too? If so, "mistress" would be its female equivalent in every way?

Mistress is the appropriate term. Dominatrix could also be used, but this has a strong sexual connotation.
In terms of mastery over a certain skill (master electrician, kung-fu master, etc.), the word "master" is appropriate for either sex.

Madam? And that doesn't have multiple connotations?
Master doesn't have multiple connotations? How about "jack of all trades, master of none"; vs. "Master of the Horse" the guy in charge of all the horses? Jesus, Socrates, Buddha were called Master to their faces; etc., etc.,
Is it the female pejoratives that stand out the most?
