In Proverbs 3:15-19, the "she" refers to God's wisdom, as stated explicitly in 3:19. Note that in Hebrew there is no neutral gender; everything is grammatically masculine or feminine, including concepts and inanimate things. Wisdom is poetically personified (Proverbs 7:4), as are the day and night (Psalms 19:3), the Earth (Jeremiah 22:29), and tens of other items and ideals. This is traditionally seen as a literary device in order to convey some concept; and no foreign significance should be read into it.See also:

Wisdom was a spirit/goddess revered by the Jews of the post-Exilic era, most commonly mentioned in the Book of Proverbs and in several Deuterocanical and non-scriptural books. She is also mentioned in the Gospels, for example Luke 7:34-35, which speaks of Wisdom in the same sense as in Proverbs, "But Wisdom is justified of all her children."
