Soulmates: Resurrecting Eve

In Soulmates,Juliana Geran Pilan argues that we mustreturn to an egalitarian view of men and women, as was presented in theoriginal Genesis narratives from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Inthese narratives, it was understood that men and women were created tobe soul mates, equal although with different functions within society.Pilan writes that this original message has gradually been distorted,with disastrous effect, and any hope for an uplifting, ennobling,worthwhile human community begins by resurrecting Eve as an equalpartner to Adam.
