Eve

Eve (4004 BC-3074 BC) was the first woman in the Abrahamic faiths. She was created by God by taking her from the rib of Adam to be his companion, and they lived naked and unashamed in the Garden of Eden. However, she was later tempted by a serpent into eating from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and she shared the fruit with Adam. God discovered this when he found out that they had become aware of their own nudity and hid from him, and he decided to banish them from the Garden; he punished Eve by forcing women to endure the pain of childbirth. They proceeded to have several children, including Cain, Abel, Seth, and 40,000 others. According to the Life of Adam and Eve, Eve died six days after Adam at the age of 930.
