Overview
¿Por qué volver a contar la historia de Eva? ¿Para qué? ¿Quién es Lilith? ¿De dónde surgió? ¿Y qué relación tienen ellas conmigo en el presente? Elisa Quejeiro, colaboradora en el programa de Martha Debayle y la revista Algarabía, desmonta el mito de Eva como la causante de la expulsión del paraíso
Las hijas de Eva y Lilith desvela la verdad sobre la historia de la mujer y propone vivir con mayor libertad, sin la lápida de la interpretación y el invento. Elisa Queijeiro aborda los mitos desde todos sus ángulos, sabiendo su importancia para el surgimiento de los pueblos, pero también que una mirada parcial y sesgada de los mismos nos ha limitado como mujeres e impedido nuestra plenitud por muchos siglos. Este libro nos desnuda detalles como que nunca hubo manzana en el Edén y que la serpiente engañó a nadie; que no había sólo un árbol valioso y prohibido, sino dos, y que la expulsión del Paraíso fue consecuencia de la sabiduría adquirida, no de la desobediencia cometida. Elisa Queijeiro nos explica que Eva sabía lo que hacía, y nos narra que hubo otra esposa de Adán, la bella y sensual Lilith -la primera mujer según el mito hebreo-, que después de discutir por su igualdad lo abandonó y con el paso del tiempo fue convertida en demonio: ¡tanta libertad y valentía no eran buena idea!
A lo largo de la historia Eva fue mal contada y Lilith, silenciada. Nosotras somos sus hijas, y por tanto su herencia. Es hora de entenderlas y transformarnos. En este libro, 15 arquetipos dibujan a la mujer del siglo XXI y muestran la evolución que vale la pena vivir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Daughters of Eve and Lilith reveals the truth about the history of women and proposes living with greater freedom, without the burden of interpretation and invention.
Why retell the story of Eve? What for? Who is Lilith? Where did she come from? And how do they relate to me in the present?
Elisa Queijeiro, a contributor to Martha Debayle's program and Algarabía magazine, debunks the myth of Eve as the cause of the expulsion from paradise.
The Daughters of Eve and Lilith reveals the truth about the history of women and proposes living with greater freedom, without the burden of interpretation and invention. Elisa Queijeiro approaches myths from all angles, knowing their importance for the emergence of peoples, but also that a partial and biased view of them has limited us as women and prevented our fulfillment for many centuries. This book reveals details such as that there was never an apple in Eden and that the serpent deceived no one; that there was not just one valuable and forbidden tree, but two, and that the expulsion from Paradise was a consequence of the wisdom acquired, not of the disobedience committed. Elisa Queijeiro explains that Eve knew what she was doing, and tells us that there was another wife of Adam, the beautiful and sensual Lilith—the first woman according to Hebrew myth—who after arguing for her equality, abandoned him and, over time, was turned into a demon: so much freedom and courage were not a good idea!
Throughout history, Eve was misrepresented and Lilith was silenced. We are their daughters, and therefore their legacy. It is time to understand them and transform ourselves. In this book, 15 archetypes depict the woman of the 21st century and show the evolution that is worth living.
