The phrase “there’s a woman in a boat riddle” is a reference to a popular riddle: “There’s a woman in a boat, with a sword in her hand and a man tied to the front of the boat. Who is she?” The answer to the riddle is “the Statue of Liberty.”
The riddle is a clever play on words, as the Statue of Liberty is often depicted as a woman holding a torch, not a sword. However, the riddle still makes sense, as the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom and justice, and the sword can be seen as a representation of her power.
