Women are your mother, your wife, your sister, your daughter, your neighbor, your colleague etc.
Islam gives all of them their proper rights.

Eve in the Bible:
The fall of Eve is the most significant of all the falls of human being. As a result of Eve’s fall, all mankind was affected. The Bible describes Eve’s fall in six successive steps
“1: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat” (Gen. 3).
It follows that Eve Listened, looked, desired, sinned and failed to accept the responsibility for her sin.
Eve Listened. It is evident from the text that Eve listened to what the devil told her. Before there is a fall, there is first attention and listening to the appeal of the devil.
Eve looked. The Bible says “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eye (Gen. 3: 6). It follows that, Eve looked and was soon hooked.
Eve desired. Eve’s response to the smooth words of the devil was, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise (Gen. 3: 6), i.e. the devil had awakened her desire.
Eve sinned. She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat (Gen. 3: 6). Not only did Eve sin, but she was not satisfied until she had persuaded Adam to also sin and he did eat” (Gen. 3: 6).
Eve was deceived, but Adam was not. Eve was not remorseful and never asked God to forgive her and she looked typically like an impenitent sinners, she blamed another for her sin. “And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat” (Gen. 3: 13).
Eve did not submit to God and she also failed to resist the devil. Eve failed to accept the responsibility for her sin. Eve did not submit to God and she also failed to resist the devil. Eve never asked her God to forgive her.
These are the Biblical teachings.

Eve in the Quran:
In the Quran it is clear that both Adam and Eve sinned, and both together were responsible for the first sin.
“Then did Satan make them slip from the (Garden), and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: “Get ye down, all (ye people), with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time.” Surah 2:36
It means that Satan deceived both Adam and Eve.
It is not logic to accept that Adam and Eve never submitted to God and they never asked Him to forgive both of them.
The Quran says that they did and Allah forgave both of them and gave them and also gave us also a golden advice to live in success in this life and in the afterlife
The verses 7:23-26 of the Quran say:
[23] They said: “Our Lord! we have wronged our own souls: if Thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost.”
[24] (Allah) said: “Get ye down, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place and your means of livelihood for a time.”
[25] He said: “Therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die; but from it shall ye be taken out (at last).”
[26] O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition!
To conclude, according to the Bible Eve was the responsible for the first sin while the Quran says that both Adam and Eve were responsible. A The Bible says that Eve and also Adam never submitted to God and never asked God to forgive them for their sin, while the Quran says that they did and God forgave them and gave them and us the rule for success and happiness in this life and in the afterlife.
