Eve's Daughter's puts a feminist spin on the classic myth of The Fall, times two.

Many creation stories depict a cosmic conflict between good and evil. But what if the conflict was something simpler, an earthly divide between men and women? Would things be any different?

Book One, based on the Sumerian tale of the goddess Inanna and her lover Dumuzi, takes us back to the Early Copper Age when a matriarchal, agricultural community encounters patriarchal nomads for the first time.

Book Two, set in the 20^th century, retells Milton's version of the Adam and Eve story, filling in details of what happened after they were thrown out of that famous garden.
