Since Genesis says, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them."...in 2:18, "It is not good that man should be alone, I will make Him a helper comparable to Him."
Skipping over to John 14:16, ""And I pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, they He may abide with you forever..."
Focusing on the Word helper, woman is considered the complement to a man. God created both in His,or their own image. The female, the helper, to man, I think could be the feminine part of God, the Holy Spirit.
Present in Genesis chapter 1, the Spirit of God moved and helped God with creation. Also both male and female were made in God's own image!
