Biblical Fact of the Day
According to a Jewish book called The Alphabet of Ben Sura which entered Europe from the East in the 6th century A.D. Eve was in fact Adams second wife.
Lilith, not Eve, was Adam's first wife, created at the same time and from the same dust. Claiming to be thus created equal, she refused to sleep or serve "under him." When Adam tried to force her into the "inferior" position, she flew away from Eden into the air, where she copulated with demons, conceiving hundreds more each day. God sent three angels after her, who threatened to kill her brood if she refused to return to Adam. But she did refuse. So God made Eve from Adam's rib to be his "second wife."
So girl power was around at the beginning of time.
