I can make a case (from the Old and New Testament, along the Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi and Jewish mystical texts) that personified wisdom or Sophia in Judaism (which in Christianity became the Holy Spirit) is the feminine aspect of god, while Yahweh (the father in Christianity) is the masculine aspect.
In latter Christianity in order to make god more transcendent perhaps, that male/feminine aspect of god thing was dropped, while god still continued by be called "he".
