Bible Question (short): Was Eve the first female

Question (full): In Genesis Chapt 1 verses 27-28 it says
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. T

Then in Genesis chapt2 verses 21-23 it says

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [9] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib [10] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,

"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [11] '
for she was taken out of man."

My question is, was Eve the first Woman, and if not what happened to the first female that was originally there with Adam. Appearantly she did not go into the Garden of Eden with him. Help I am confused by this protion of scripture...
