A:According to midrashic literature, Eve was not Adam's first wife. His first wife was Lilith, who left him because during sexual intercourse Adam would not let her be on top.

Why did Adam divorce his first wife?
A:Early in the Common Era, Jewish scholars, noting that man (both male and female together) was created in Genesis 1:26, before Eve alone was created in Genesis 2:22. They decided that these were two separate creation events and that Eve was therefore not really the first woman. They developed a midrash that Adam's first wife was Lilith, but that she flew away because Adam would not allow her to be on top when having sex. Afterwards, God created Eve to be Adam's second wife. Thus, Adam never divorced his first wife, Lilith, as she left him because she insisted on sexual equality.
