I can interpret this song in two ways, both with Ophelia referring specifically to the literary charcter in Hamlet. One of them is Ophelia>Everywoman, where I think the song is saying that all of these women, despite their differences and separate powers and abilities and convictions, all have a piece of complacent, hopeless Ophelia inside of them. The other is Ophelia<Everywoman. Perhaps, born in different circumstances, she could have been any one of these women, even the super-cool ones far removed from her experience like the suffragette or circus-queen. Maybe a bit of both?
(it cut me off?) is Ophelia<Everywmoan, where these could have been awesome lives she'd led. The character's feebleness isn't endemic to herself, just as women aren't inherently weak, it's about how people are raised are encouraged to pursue things. Maybe.

I guess it doesn't like the "lesser than" symbol. Jesus. Well, the other is there's a part of these women in Ophelia, that she's isn;t inherently feeble, no-one is. She could've been any of these awesome women depending on how she was raised and encouraged.
