Truth also references Eve as a woman who was "strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone." This is a bold choice. Truth could have picked from any number of strong female Biblical figures—Ruth, Sarah, Miriam—but she alludes to the woman that got humanity kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
But Truth isn't looking to pick a Biblical figure who necessarily did the most good; she's looking for the woman that just did the most. And Eve is credited with changing the world in a fundamental way, what with snacking on the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and forcing humans to leave paradise for a far more real-world experience—one complete with death, labor, and shame.
