What's the meaning of being a Christian Biblically?
What is the attitude of a Christian?
And particularly of a Godly woman(not Godly wife)?

A christian is one who puts their entire trust in Christ’s finished work on the cross for their salvation.

Because of this belief and understanding, the attitude of a christian is one of love, and humility and esteeming others as better than ourselves. A godly woman will strive to exhibit this same attitude.

We read in Acts 11:26 ...the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Being a Christian is being a disciple of Jesus Christ, and a disciple of Jesus Christ is being someone who has learnt the truth about Him and faithfully follows Him. The truth is that you, me, and everyone else have sinned. We have failed to obey all that God requires of us in thought, deed, and word. There is a penalty for each and every failure which we are told is death. However, Jesus Christ died as a substitute to make that death payment on behalf of all who are, as @Asforme&myhouse has already said above, trusting in Christ's finished work on the Cross. Salvation from sin is a gift, and Jesus Christ has given His life to save sinners from their sin. Christians demonstrate their appreciation of that free gift by loving Him and walking in a life of good works. This is beautifully summed up for us in Ephesians 2:8-10, For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

A godly woman will live her life walking her life journey in those good works which God has prepared for her.
 
We read in Philippians chapter 2...

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,a

but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
 
What's the meaning of being a Christian Biblically?
A person who puts their complete and total faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for their sins, for their eternal salvation, plus nothing, minus nothing. There is no other way but Jesus.

John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Romans 10:9-10
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
