Did God create more than one female in the Garden? If not.... Why do we have to go back when we read forward?

If you read Genesis from when he was creating on the sixth day he created male and female then after he rested it says that he took adam and made him sleep and took a rib from him to make eve. so why did he make them both and then, What was he telling us just details on how he made her when we read further?

In the first chapter of Genesis, God created male and female, and then He “rested.” Now in chapter 2, what, God had to create male and female again? What’s going on?
Chapter 2 is about the male and female that were never created by God, a.k.a., the mortal version of the image and likeness that were not made by the Word of God. The details of the material construction of a mortal are just layers of the mist impressed upon our thought to the point where we as a race, generally accept error as truth.

The Bible has two different creation accounts. If you are to believe they are both true, then one must assume that the first account is more like an overview (aka table of contents) and the second account is in more detail. Makes sense to me, and historical biblical scholars agree, too. One man and one woman were made, and they were fruitful and multiplied. No more complicated than that.

Lillith couldn't deal with not being in chargeI(they were either equal or adam being dominant, depending on who you ask) and she ran off and screwed a bunch of demons.
so God made Adam a new girl.

I don't know for a fact but I would have to say it involves the dualistic nature of woman. That or the complexeties of her. Written by a man maybe it means not to judge and [to] understand her. Religion is complicated.
*EDIT* To read it once is to know it. To read it a second time is to understand it. Still thinking...

It is said the old (and now not used) Hebrew Torah talked of a Lillith who was a reject.

The bible has two accounts of creation. God likes to keep you guessing.

THE FIRST IS NO GOD DIDN'T CREATE MORE THAN ONE FEMALE. THE SECOND PART IS JUST STUPID.
