If you read the article, one girl said that she didn't want to be like her mother, having to work all day and having no time for her growing up. Maybe she just wants to be different, just like her mom wanted to be different from an earlier generation.

wellesley today does still give off that message, although not as much and it's more subtle. i was talking to a friend of a friend a few weeks ago about the movie and about that message. not many schools i know have a special bus that will take you to cambridge on friday and saturday nights so that way you may meet a nice harvard or mit man to marry....
