Actually, it seems that she is really the first named author --as far as we know today.
Some dates and other claims are wrong.
The numeral forty-two, in the reference that she wrote forty-two hymns, is actually a literary topos of mythology. Old people in my place, Kypros, use to say I have forty-two things to do. This is not a report about how many things I have to do. Rather, it is an expression that I have a lot of work, I am very busy. So, saying that she wrote forty-two hymns it actually means she wrote many hymns.

Pre Abrahamic religions were much more woke, wise, compassionate, cool and interesting.
(At least for their times)
Unfortunately, only a few survive today.

It's amazing how many women were leaders before and started so many revolutionary things but are not taught in history classes because they are not men.

Thanks for this valuable story. All of women's history should be taught in schools instead of continuing to be suppressed by (some) men!

The job of author has gone back to the dawn of time from the first Neanderthals who watched shadows dance across cave walls.
