1. Andi Dorfman is the first Jewish bachelorette.
According to Andi Dorfman’s cousin, Allison Yarrow, Dorfman is the first Jewish Bachelorette in history. Yarrow who is proud of her cousin’s contribution to the show’s diversity stated: “Today, America is a different place for women than it was more than a decade ago when the show debuted. Online feminism was born, women now outnumber men on college campuses and have infiltrated more diverse sectors of the workforce. Anointing a bachelorette who is willing to at once be the brand and subvert it — refusing last season’s seemingly narcissistic bachelor, leaving the show on her own — shows legions of fans that the pursuit of love shouldn’t come at the cost of self.”
