Actually, the words is "procuress", which is defined as a "woman pimp".
A Madam is the female proprietor of a house of prostitution, which is NOT the same as a pimp.
A pimp is someone who organizes prostitutes or procures sexual favors for clients, which is why a female "pimp" is called a "procuress", the feminized version of "procurer"

I don't think pimptress is a word at all.... I think the woman equivalent to a pimp is a madam..

madam is the term for a woman who runs a brothel

No it is not. I believe it would be a madam in the case of a woman.

anything can become a word if it's used often enough and the media catches on.
