How Does the Bible Indicate That Woman is Superior to Man?
"Man is the glory of God and
Woman is the glory of man"(1st Corinthians 11.7).
So woman is "the glory of [the glory]".
In Hebrew the way you state the superlative
Is by saying "X of X."
"King of Kings" means the greatest king.
"Lord of Lords" means the greatest Lord.
"Age of Ages" means the longest eon,
Translated as "Eternity."
The room called "The Holy of Holies"
Is the most holy room(of the temple).
LSS: Glory of Glories would mean
The supreme or greatest or highest glory!
So, if "woman is the glory [of the glory]"
Womanhood is above manhood.
Or it's the highest level of it.
Anyway, each of us is called to
"esteem the other more highly
than ourselves"(Philippians 2.3).
If we carry that over to the two sexes,
Males are to "esteem the other" sex
More highly than our own sex.
And vice versa.

Good job :)
Thanks for commenting.Don't know much about the Bible? Please try to read a book of the Bible, a few pages each day. Then when done with that book, read another book of the bible. Until you have read all 66 books. Actually, several socalled "books" of the Bible aren't books at all. For they are one chapter long or two or three chapters. So those ones are booklets, rather than books.There's about ten booklets of 3 chapters or less.
There's just two books of the Bible named after a woman. "Ruth" is about Ruth(the Grandmother of King David, of "David and Goliath" fame). And "Esther" is about Esther, the Jewish girl who became the queen of Persia(Iran).They are both in the "Old Testament," the part of the Bible written in Hebrew. It's the part of the Bible written before Christ. I think "Ruth" is about 4 chapters and Esther is about 10 chapters.
(I don't have my Bible with me as I write this. I'm at the library.)
Everyone should be knowledgable about the Bible because it is "the Word of God" - but that doesn't mean it's all true. There are the true parts and then there are the parts that contain a "shadow [of the truth]".
That quote ("a shadow of things to come," meaning the truth to come) is from Colossians 2.17 and Hebrews 10.1 and 8.5.
Christians go wrong when they think that they have to defend and believe in the story of Adam and Eve(Genesis, chapters 2 and 3) just because it's in the Bible. That's one of those passages that is definitely not the truth. But it has a limited amount of truth in it. I've been meaning to do a poem about Adam and Eve, hopefully this week.

Wonderful analysis and I love how easy it flows. It was like we were having a conversation. Great write! Keep it up!
Thanx so much for commenting.You say it "flows easy" - I guess you mean the logic is there, a, then b, then c.
When the desciples asked, Who will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, Christ replied with something about the lowest, the lowliest servants shall become the greatest.And "he who humbles himself shall become exalted, lifted up by God." Well, that fits women, doesn't it. I mean women are the low man on the totem pole - at least they were in the past.
But now they are on their way, their rightful way to the top.
The Church as an institution is called the Bride of Christ.But the Church is also Christian SOCIETY, not just the institution. The fact that it is characterized as female may mean that motherly or womanly ways will triumph in the end. "The cream rises to the top." Today, more women graduate from college than men.This may be the natural order of things finally manifesting before our eyes.
