Are modern day women happy? Have the expectations of women as wife and mother faded away? Is society still dominated by men?  In her Pulitzer Prize winning play, Wendy Wasserstein asks these as well as other important questions. This timeless play still mirrors the trials many of us experience as we try to answer the questions: What do we do with our lives? And where are we going?
