Lilith is a character from Jewish folklore who is said to have been Adams first wife. According to some versions of the story, Lilith was created at the same time as Adam, from the same material and by the same deity, implying total equality between the two. However, Lilith refused to submit to Adam and fled the Garden of Eden, where she was banished from paradise forever and became a succubus. In other versions of the story, Lilith attempted intercourse with Adam before the creation of Eve, and after the creation of Eve, she fled and ever after plotted to kill newborn children. While Lilith is not mentioned in the Bible, she does appear in the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, where the Qumran sect was engrossed with demonology, and Lilith appears in the Song for a Sage, a hymn possibly used in exorcisms. Liliths character has evolved throughout the years, and Jewish feminists have reclaimed Lilith as a symbol of autonomy, independence, and sexual liberation.
