all women should read this book
it took me some time to finish because i’ve been so busy, but seriously this was a great read. this is such a great piece of feminist literature that i think all women should read to just get a better understanding of themselves and to truly feel good and empowered about being a woman.
this book focuses on Lilith, Adam’s first wife in Jewish mythology and her journey from 4000 BCE to today trying to spread her knowledge that women and men were created equal and it’s just really great. i also find religion super interesting since i was born into an atheist household and i also am an atheist but i love to learn about religion and this book has a lot of Jewish and Christian teachings and stuff. highly recommend it!
