Having seen a work of art by Judy Chicago which included a brief
description of Lilith, my brother and I were wondering what was up.
She was described as being the original wife of Adam, who was cast out
for opposing his will, after which the folklore attributed several bad
characteristics to her.  We were wondering how accurate a description
this is, and even if this was invented by Ms Chicago, since I can find
no mention of her in the Bible, and I am (obviously) not much of a
scholar.  Any pointers or info would be appreciated.

As usual, please respond by mail; I will summarize to the net if there
is any interest (which I doubt).
