Current Title: The Genesis of Gender Disparity
Alternate Titles:
- The Genesis of Gender Disparity: How the Creation Story Established Gender Hierarchies
- Gender Hierarchies: How Adam and Eve Shaped Modern Perceptions of Gender
- "Male and Female He Created Them": Gender Disparity in Genesis 1-3
I think my favorite options are either my original title or the third alternative. I think that the alternative title provides a bit of a hook to people who might come across my paper because this is a quote many people are familiar with, even if they are not themselves Christian. But also, I like the simplicity of my original title because it is engaging and fun because it uses the word genesis meaning origin but also alludes to the book of Genesis. I think the paratext of my paper, in that this is being written in a class that analyzes how religious narratives impact a culture, provides context that easily clarifies that this paper will be about the creation story.
