Calcite, c. 2350-2300 BC.Enheduanna was High Priestess of the god Nanna (or Sin), one of the most important religious figures of her day, and one of the earliest women in history known by name. She is the first known author and poet, with many of her compositions surviving to the present day. Her works include devotions to the goddess Inanna, and a collection of hymns thought to be one of the first attempts at a systematic theology.
