Obviously you haven't read the Bible.  There are many powerful women in the Bible, including queens, prophetesses, and women who supported their families.  Women worked and financially supported Jesus and the desciples throughout much of their travels.  Jesus held women in very high regard and so did the greatest men in the Bible.  If you wish to get technical on what it's all about, God absolutely abhors the mistreatment of women, and he stated so very concisely in the book of Leviticus.  He never encouraged Polygamy and that practice alone proved destructive to the men who practiced it.  He also never encouraged slavery, but rather insisted that a slave be released after seven years of service.  As for sexism, incest and murder, those are a part of the history that the Bible tells.  Some of the books therein are so exciting and riveting, you wouldn't be able to put it down until you'd read till then end.  Try reading Song of Solomon.  It's a beautiful love story...between a man and a woman.  BTW  Check out I Kings 16, 18, 19 & 21 and Revelation 2:20. 

   Also:  Enoch was not canonized into the scriptures because it was not designated to be of the "Inspired Word of God."  Therefore It is not included in the collected works of the Bible.  I've heard that it was included in the Catholic "bible", as that particular collection of works included many theological writings such as the works of Josephus, but I do not own a Catholic bible.  But then, the Catholic church does not encourage its congregation to actually read their bibles.
