Yes! Instead of female God, correct your question as Goddesses.There are number of Goddesses in Hinduism. Prominent Goddesses in Hinduism are Mahalakshmi, Saraswati, Parvati.

Yes, apart from those already mentioned, there is goddess Lalitha / Rajarajeshwari who is believed to b the mother of the entire universe. Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara and their respective consorts are all believed to have emerged from her.
In fact, Hinduism is the only religion that maintains equal status between man and woman.

Yes.the Hindus believe in the omnipresence of God.
Their belief in this aspect is not absolute and unconditional and unqulified . they do not think that any mortal has any powers or competence to impose any restriction on the omnipresence of God .
Their belief is scientific also.
Because of the omnipresence God is seen in all objects and all beoings animate ans inanimate also .God is the soul of every being without exception. that is god is the life of all beoings , plants and animals , male or female .
women have also souls and god is in women also .God being present in everything without exception , man is never out of sight of god and God is also never out of sight of anybody or anything .nothiung in this world can wxist withouta minimum of two sides or aspects. Matter is also has its anti-matter and all forces have thier counterpart . Nothing except the force of gravity is single . All forces except the space and gravity have their opposites .May be even gravity might have its opposite though as of now we are not aware of it.
God being omniprecent , the hindu philosophy allows one to see and worship god in any form that pleases him andappeals to him. so also it allows one to call God by any name tht pleases him.it is the firm belief in the omnipresence of god thatenables a Hiundu to accept and respect any God of any religion. the Hinud has no animaosity towards any other religion or god , just as some other religions that have enmity with the hindu religion.Since the hindu religion encourages people to think of the god in any form that they want , the hindu is able to feel the presence of god in his mind all the time in the particular form .
god being the creator of the universe and all htat it in th euniverse and creation is the main and sole function of the feminine aspect of the the hindus see the mother as the first God .So the hindus have consorts to every god that they think of .
