Mark Twain 
Eve’s Diary 

First published in 1906, ‘Eve’s Diary’ is one of Twain’s best stories, in which he addresses gender equity issues, using his iconic wit and satire. 



‘Eve’s Diary’ is written in the style of a diary kept by the first woman in the biblical creation story,  Eve, and is claimed to be ‘translated from the original MS.’ The plot of this story is the first-person account of Eve from her creation up to her burial by her mate Adam, including meeting and getting to know him, and exploring the world around her,  Eden.
