Lilith: Seductress, Heroine or Murderer?

"Today the tradition of Lilith has enjoyed a resurgence, due mainly to the feminist movement of the late 20th century. Renewed interest in Lilith has led modern writers to invent ever more stories. Ignoring or explaining away Lilith’s unsavory traits, feminists have focused instead upon Lilith’s independence and desire for autonomy."

Yeah, sure, she might have been nasty, and a killer, and a devourer of children, but, darn it, she was her own woman!
