Amelia Lanyer, like Isabella Whitney, uses her talent as an author to attempt to change the view of women in society, and she uses radical thoughts for her time to make her works empowering. In Lanyer's poem "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum", which she says came from divine intuition before she even wrote the poem, she argues the facts that women where looked down upon because of their responsibility of the Fall from Paradise. Lanyer places a new viewpoint on the situation by coming to Eve's defense in the section entitled "Eve's Apologie". Lanyer states that "although the Serpents craft had her abused, Gods holy word ought all his actions frame, for he was Lord and King of all the earth, before Eve had either life of breath" ("Salve", Eve's Apologie, l. 21-23) and therefore Eve simply disobeyed Adam, and only indirectly God, whereas Adam, in eating the apple, directly disobeyed God. She also declares that Eve should not be held more liable than Adam, based simply on the facts that should women, or Eve specifically, is the reason for the fall, and then logically speaking, men, or Pontius Pilot, should be held responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. Looking at the situation through this view, Lanyer suggests that one could not persecute woman with persecuting man, considering that it's at least equally sinful, if not more so for man. Lanyer verbalizes the desire for women to have their "libertie againe" ("Salve", Eve's Apologie, l. 66) by reminding that men only come into the world though "our paine" ("Salve", Eve's Apologie, l.
