Could she have been the first woman in Genesis? (sorry for the long post)

If she were, I think the author/compiler would have included her account. Barring that, she would have been mentioned by name. It's conceivable that she was the original character in the (pre-compiled) story. But in the context of Genesis, I think we're meant to think that Eve was the first human woman.

Nah. The idea of Lilith came in quite a bit later. It would be odd for something that significant to have happened and not be mentioned at all in the Bible. Most Christians see Genesis 1 as giving a brief overview of the creation of mankind, then Genesis 2 going into more detail.
