What was the title of Mark Twain's 1906 short story narrated by Eve?

The title of Mark Twain’s 1906 short story narrated by Eve is Eve’s Diary.

Twain presents the story as a first-person journal kept by Eve, the biblical first woman. She describes her creation, her curiosity about the unfamiliar world, her encounters with Adam, and life in the Garden of Eden. The playful diary format lets Twain retell the creation story through Eve’s lively, affectionate perspective rather than Adam’s more detached voice.

The story first appeared in the Christmas issue of Harper’s Bazaar in 1905, then was published as a standalone book by Harper & Brothers in June 1906. Lester Ralph illustrated the book edition with 55 drawings. Those illustrations caused controversy because Eve was depicted unclothed; one Massachusetts library reportedly banned the book.

A common mix-up is Adam’s Diary, another Twain work in the same series. Twain also wrote related pieces including “That Day in Eden” and “Adam’s Soliloquy.” Eve’s Diary is often read as a tender tribute to Twain’s wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens, who had died in 1904.
