Yes, sister. Remember, it was a patriarchal society, and for the most part, women were not mentioned.
The Bible could not possibly tell us all details of everything, it would be too huge a work. It tells us only the pertinent information.

The Bible says Adam and Eve had many children. The Bible only gives us the names and histories of the first three: Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2), Seth (Genesis 4:25), and then just says many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4).
As Adam and Eve lived for over 900 years with likely hundreds of years of child-bearing capability, Adam and Eve likely had 50+ children in their lifetime.
Cain married his sister. There was no law against incest in those days because the gene pool was pristine and there was therefore no medical risk if close relatives married each other and had children together.
