Homonym: Lilith (Feminism)
Lilith is a figure from Jewish mythology, often described as the first wife of Adam before Eve. According to some ancient texts, she was created from the same soil as Adam, but she left him because she refused to submit to him. This story highlights themes of independence and equality.
In later folklore, Lilith is sometimes depicted as a demon or a night spirit, associated with infant mortality and female sexuality. She has been interpreted in various ways across cultures, symbolizing rebellion and the darker aspects of femininity. Her legacy continues to influence literature and feminist thought today.
