The feminine reference is to the human quality of wisdom (she): a reference to the feminine definite article, not the book, although the reference following, is to the Book of Wisdom. "...Book of Wisdom 8:7 reads, 'She [Wisdom] teacheth temperance, and prudence, and justice, and fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing more profitable in life.'"
