Everywoman

As “Drive My Car” emphatically demonstrates, the everygirl from the songs of the early Beatles was very quickly transforming into an everywoman, complete with an ego and agenda that wasn’t playing second fiddle to any masculine other.

Janet may be impossible to read, but I know I would’ve walked the mile with her in middle school gym class, and casting an everywoman like her is the foundational key to success for any reality television show.

She’s the everywoman, a picture of klutzy mishaps of the heart that looks more like a mirror than a photograph.

It is A’s Everywoman nature, combined with the vulnerable physicality that’s so evident in such an intimate space: her breath, her welling tears, the placating smile she puts on like a demure piece of armor when she runs the risk of upsetting a man.
