1.她是现今年轻女子的典型——自信外向、知识渊博、做事投入。
在学校、教堂或是社区她积极活跃。
她也许有一大帮朋友或是寥寥几个密友，但却对朋友和友谊忠心不二。
对于现今年轻人所面临的主要问题，譬如计划未来、亲昵关系、两性行为、毒品酗酒等问题，她行事老道，并且谈论起来认真严肃、思路缜密、直截了当。
她想掌控自己的生活，试图弄明白从哪里起步，通过何种方式达成自己所追寻的目标。
总之，她深信，如果计划周密、工作努力并且决策正确，她就能在自己选定的领域获得成功，拥有自己所渴求的优越物质条件，最终如愿以偿地嫁人；而且，极有可能养几个孩子。
正如此话所云，她计划“该有的全都要有”。

2.她住在美国各大城市及其周边地区，新英格兰的城镇，南部和中西部的小型城市以及西部海岸地区。
她来自一个中上阶层的家庭，源自中产阶级、劳动阶层甚至有时来自贫苦阶层。
确定无疑的是，她得到这样的启示，即如今的妇女应该充当自己生活的主角。
她展望未来，将自己视为中心人物，计划自己的职业生涯、公寓住所和成功故事。
这些年轻女子不会将自己视为他人生活剧本中所充当的配角；那是她们自己所经营的历程。
她们着眼于自己的抱负、自己的希望和自己的梦想。

3.贝思·科南特是一名16岁的中学三年级学生，与母亲和继父同住在富足的新英格兰大学城。
她有五个兄弟，四个是哥哥，一个是比她小好几岁的弟弟。
母亲是一位图书管理员，而继父是个证券经纪。
作为一名重点公立中学的一年级学生，她希望上大学，如果可能的话，去耶鲁大学学习戏剧，“就像梅丽尔·斯特里普一样。
”她想住在英格兰，从事一段时间的表演，可能演些莎士比亚的戏剧。
她希望到25岁的时候能住在纽约，拥有自己的公寓住房，一边兼职打工养活自己一边开始自己的演艺生涯。
她想拥有“了不起的一生”，能够“真正独立”，具备“所有属于自己的物品——像是高档家具，一切自我风格的东西。
”

4.到了30岁的时候（“那真是让人厌倦”），她感到自己需要理智一些，因为她很快会受到束缚。
她希望到那个时候，自己的职业将会“开始有所起步”，并且可以得到一些好角色。
到35岁之际，她会有个孩子（“有可能先结婚”），正在纽约工作，在乡村有所房子。
她如何能应付这一切？
她的丈夫会分担责任。
她不会是一个“超级母亲”。
两人将共同照顾孩子。
丈夫不会将此视为帮忙；这会是他俩的共同职责。
而且，如果她不能匀出时间给孩子，她不会生养小孩。
如有必要，她会工作一段时日，再生育孩子，而此后“一年拍一部电影。
