SO, DO WE
blame la rue?
blame la rue?
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)
Rowson alludes to the Creation story in order to properly illustrate how women were not the only ones who have to bear the blame of their misfortunes. She brings up how Eva was also accountable for her misdeeds in the the Garden of Eden.
