Now, what's interesting in Hinduism is that gods are not viewed to have a strict gender. For example, Vishnu has a female incarnation, and there's also groups of Hindus who view god as taking a fundamentally female form. One group are known as the followers of Shaktism. To Shaktism, god is female, the supreme goddess, and takes many forms. Parvati, as you see listed here, is referred to as the divine mother. She's viewed as Shiva's consort or Shiva's wife, but she has other forms, like Durga, which is viewed as a stronger, more aggressive form of Parvati, sometimes referred to as Devi or Shakti. Shakti means strength or power and is a warrior goddess.
