The biblical accounts of Eve's life are central to Western culture,
occupying a privileged place in our literature and art, culture,
and society. For both Judaism and Christianity, these stories
involving Eve have for centuries been entangled with the religious
and social construction of gender. The ambiguous biblical record of
her life from the two versions of her creation, through her
encounter with the forbidden fruit, to her expulsion from Eden, and
followed by the tantalizing glimpses of her life in the real world
has served through the ages as a mirror of commonly held views
about women. For Jewish readers, Eve's role as metonym --
signifying womanhood, or Jewish womanhood, as a whole -- is of
prime importance. By tracing the imagined character of Eve from
ancient times to the present, Eternally Eve opens a window on the
transmission and persistence of cultural and social values.
