Specifically the book of Proverbs, chapter 8, verse 1 refers to wisdom as "her' and Wisdom's monologue goes throughout that chapter and part of the next.

Women have always been associated with great wisdom. The Roman Minerva, and the Greek Athena, for example.
It's common personification, for words such "wisdom" and "justice" and "peace" to be associated with women.

Because girls and woman always looks deeply and in details when put things on or let things go. However, I don't think nowadays the female are pretty wiser or even little wisdom as they were, how they personify on their character's which is unexpected!

cause it was what a they should have been Wise!!
But unfortunately she who was made to be wise to help the one she was designed for , who by wisdom named ALL.........yet she who was to be wisdom.......failed and caused the first sin by not being so wise..........she as wisdom chose to follow her wise thinking as the serpant beguiled her with THINKING..instead of the Wise she was to be and thats a follower.....and a help meet and a fullfillment....not a leader , doer , filler................
And if this offends your thinking i'm putting women down you are wrong.........SHE has her place.....and its a Help Meet , a fullfiller , and a follower......not the opppisite...and if in Doubt Read This........1 Timothy 2:9-15....and especially verse 14 for it says......and is written...""And Adam was NOT DECIEVED but THE WOMAN BEING DECIEVED was in the TRANSGRESSION "
WHY? Cause she held not her place nor obeyed God
And a women is to fullfill what a man cannot she is to FULLFILL , not FILL...........
There are things Woman can do men will never be able to do , and endure what a man cannot thus as a partnership they both are to be as ONE....NOt a slave or dictator or such...
But also the man can do what a women cannot and Fullfill what the women lacks and the woman fullfills what the man lacks..........and its the togetherness which makes there no lack...........
But one must stay to what they were made for....same as women so is man..He is to do what he was designed to do and be what God created Him to be..........
And i think its time everyone stayed in their place.....so that there will be Family........and not seperations and divorces....
That was and is Gods design....just people male and female will not BE What they was designed to be...and stay in the place they were designed to FIT!!!!!!!!!
And if in Further doubt God himself said " He hated putting away "

God being represented as a man means that the divine feminine occasionally sneaks into an otherwise male-only affair - the Holy Spirit, Lilith, Wisdom, the Virgin Mary, etc., etc.

Could it have anything to do with the Greek word for "wisdom" being "sophia"?

Have you read what men wrote back then? There couldn't have been a single level head combined among all the men in those cultures. They were savage beasts.
