Lilith on the Red Sea is the story of a woman who is punished for not accepting a subordinate role in a patriarchal society. In the legend of Lilith, she is said to have been Adam’s first wife. She is said to have left paradise because Adam did not agree to her desire for equality. She went to the Red Sea, gave herself over to demons,and produced a hundred children every day.
Despite Adam’s pleas, she refused to return, so God punishes her and takes away all her hundred children, one day at a time, and comforts Adam with a resilient Eve. Although an ancient story, the legend of Lilith can also be read today as one that raises questions about who owns a woman’s body. A question that should not be asked, but which is not an obvious one. Does a woman really own her own body?
