The Book of Genesis had at least four principal authors, each of whom perceived God in different ways, according to the geographical and chronological background of the author. One of the authors of Genesis was the Yahwist, or 'J' source, who portrayed God as anthropomorphic, with human characteristics. Thus we see, for example, God walking in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day and talking to Adam - just like a man. This compares with, for example, the Elohist ('E' source) who portrayed God as a transcendental being whom one could not look at, and the Priestly Source who saw God as supremely powerful.
When Genesis chapter 1 says that God made man in his image, this parallels the Priestly viewpoint. Perhaps we could say that the author really made God in the image of man, rather than the other way around.

What two things make man and woman in the image of god?
The Scripture says that man was made in the Image of God and the woman (means out of the man) was made in the image of man. Paul in his Epistle verifies this. So if put in a mathematical equation with the = sign meaning 'made in the image of,' we would have: Man = God; Woman = Man; therefore Woman = God. So we both are made in the image of God. A second thing about we humans, both male and female, is that we have the awesome power of 'mind' which lets us know that we know and how we can think of time in all dimensions to learn from and plan ahead for, and have fantastic creative abilities. These are all characteristics of the God 'kind' which is what mankind is made in the image of and not any animal kind, etc. We are unique and given the earth and all upon it to manage - though we haven't done the best of jobs like God would.
