Does anyone know what cartoon this is and where I could watch it?
"My first encounter with Lilith came when I was about 8 or 9, in the mid-seventies. PBS was showing a series of films about the women's movement, most of which were too serious or sad for me to find interesting, until a very short animated film came on. The film was about Eve in the Garden of Eden, but unlike other versions of this familiar story, the focus was not on God or Adam.
The focus of the cartoon, which was not for children, was on a wistful, bored Eve, who encounters a mysterious presence in the Garden. A dark-haired woman, who lives along the periphery of the Garden walls- it is this presence that draws Eve away from her usual habits, and that prompts her to climb the Tree of Knowledge in order to leave the Garden, to join her brave and independent new companion, Lilith."
quote is by Leni Hester from the book Original Resistance: Reclaiming Lilith, Reclaiming Ourselves
