Actually, Eve introduced patriarchy.
In the apocrypha, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. They split up because Adam always wanted to be on top while Lilith wanted to try more equal positions. So Adam whined to God and Lilith got kicked out of paradise and left to fend for herself in a world full of demons.
Then God made Eve, a submissive and naive woman that would be content being a bottom, to be Adam's 'trophy wife' so to speak. Being stupid, Eve ate the apple and what not. Lilith, we're told, had a bunch of kids with demons and became the first bitchy ex-wife.
From a modern perspective, however, it looks like the outspoken women got beat down and humiliated by men, and the dumb pretty girl ended up being more trouble than it was worthy...
...Just like real life, after all.
(To be fair, Lilith is the older myth here, mostly from Mesopotamia. This is another case of a new religion rewriting the older one to suit its purposes. When the Talmub was written, goddesses were pretty popular, which probably didn't suit the men of a patriarchy-based religion. What better way to get rid of the goddesses by putting down women? Anyway, tehre's plenty of info in Wikipedia.)

Yep, zenith_valar has the correct answer....
Lilith had (supposedly) refused to submit to Adam and has been punished by later being portraied as a demon (forgot who she had coupled with) and has allegedly cursed all of Eve's descendants.....
Been a while since I've read on it....
It's near to beginning of the Bible, and Adam has had 2 wives :)

Genesis 2:21
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
I know this is a a

If you read your bible really carefully, Adam as standing right next to Eve as the snake spoke to eve, because Eve then gave the fruit to adam, who was with her...read it, were would adam be anyways, someplace in the garden??? Nah, he was lonely, so he was just not being a man and properly instructing Eve.

Eve was Female, so definitely she will introduce feminism to human life.
All the best, Good Luck, God Bless you.

No. The bible story is supposed to explain why women should be inferior.
Look at how the bible treats women in general:

The bible is one of the greatest obstacles for equality.
