"Now pray don't think I meant take Eve's part.
      No, she'd no right, 'twas acting very wrong.
      To Listen to the Serpents flattering tongue;
      And from her error, her descendant's claim"

                                     (Rowson, "Rights of Woman" 138)

In her poem "Rights of Woman," Rowson brings up how similar to men, women should be granted rights too. She talks about how these rights would be able to protect women from their "insidious flatterers" as well as grant other rights that allow them to act freely (26). 

She alludes to the Creation story in order to properly illustrate how women, who were usually ones blamed for their misdeeds, should not be the only ones who have to bear the blame of their misfortunes. 

The first stanza addresses how women like Eve, who failed to obey God in the the Garden of Eden, are solely blamed for their misdeeds. She argues, however, that it isn't completely their fault. Women like Charlotte are prone to being enticed to commit wrongdoings when they listen to "the serpents flattering tongue," suggesting that they are weak to other people's influences and words (20). Although in this case Rowson may be referring to the words of the seducers, this is also fitting for La Rue because she was undeniably the main reason why Charlotte was tempted to "stray from the right path."

This move may be problematic, however, due to the fact that it suggests that it may be difficult to confide in anyone but one's parent. It might, in a way, be suggesting that all female friendships are only set women up to be against one another. 

Society can also be blamed due to the fact that it drove La Rue to act the carefree and rebellious way she does. Perhaps the same unrealistic expectations it had of her also made her victim to its idealized and narrow idea of what a woman should act like and be, which drove her to go against all of it, and invite other women to do the same as well.
