Ruth and Esther were named after women.
None. Very few women were even named in the bible, let alone allowed to contribute to it.
The Hebrew Bible has the same books in it as the Protestant Old Testament, it just combines some books that we divide in two (1&2 Kings, 1&2Chronicles, 1&2Samuel into just Kings, Chronicles, and Samuel and they combine the books of Ezra and Nehemiah into one), and places them in a different ordering scheme (which in and of itself is interesting, for ex. Daniel is not listed among the Prophets but is in the Writings section). The total number of Books in the Hebrew Bible is 35 versus the 39 in the Protestant Old Testament.
The first family in both the new Testament and Old Testament are Adam (the first man), his wife, Eve (the first women), and their sons, Cain and Abel.
