Night Hag - Paperback

by Amy Baskin (Author)

Lilith was the first woman. Adam was her husband before Eve was fashioned into his wife. Lilith knew herself to be Adam's equal and refused his demands of submission. She has been cast as a demon who left Adam for a new lover, the fallen angel Samael. "Night Hag," one of Lilith's many epithets, has been ostracized as a thief in the night, a baby stealer, a demon of abortion, a sex glutton-- a woman guilty of the crime of choosing when and if she becomes a mother.

NIGHT HAG is an exploration of submission versus agency, of questioning versus acceptance, interspersed with reflections on and by the mythic and the modern Lilith.
