Eve in Genesis 

Here're two widely-known facts by the academic research about Eve in the Biblical literature that I think you would be interested in:
1. There're two different stories about the creation of men in Genesis, each incompatible to the other. One is which Eve was created from Adam's rib. (Genesis 2:21-25) One is which both men and women were created at the same time. (Genesis 1:27). It further proves that Genesis itself is a combination of texts from multiple resources.
2. There're many translation errors in the popular English version of Genesis, most of which concerning the status of women. For example, in King James Version (KJV), Eve was said to be created to be "an help meet for" Adam, which indicates that she's made as the assistant of Adam. However, the Hebrew word here is more of a "tutor"/"advisor" than a "helper". God himself has also been described to "help" Adam with the same word.
