Why do Hindus have female goddesses?

Why should they have only male Gods? Males and females are complimentary, both essential for life. In Hinduism God is called 'purusha' (male) and nature, 'prakriti' (female). Some believe that the union of purusha and prakriti creates the universe. Furthermore, many hindus believe in Brahman, the unspecified Supreme entity. It is considered beyond gender, and is addressed as 'it'.
