Jolene Edmunds Rockwood. “Eve’s Role in Creation and the Fall.” In Women and the Power Within (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1991) 49-62.

This is an excellent article, though I believe she draws firmer conclusions than justified on creation. In absence of a detailed revelation on the process or nature of creation, prophets and apostles have expressed widely different opinions. See Creation.
