"  Today&amp;#039;s 25-year-old women\u2014let&amp;#039;s call them the ELLE Generation, since they&amp;#039;re the same age as American ELLE\u2014are the first to grow up after the era when everything changed, to borrow the title of Gail Collins&amp;#039; inspiring recent account of how their mothers&amp;#039; generation emerged from untold millennia of second-class status to men. So\u2014what&amp;#039;s the upshot of the great uplift? Is there still a sexual double standard? Are these women as obsessed about their appearance as their foremothers were? What are their aspirations for their lives and careers? What are they looking for in their men? Are they even looking for men? What are their attitudes toward fashion? Are they pessimistic or optimistic? Fairly happy or disturbingly stressed out? ELLE and msnbc.com, with the help of our longtime collaborators, the California State University, Los Angeles sociologist Janet Lever and her team of ace UCLA number crunchers, recently conducted an online survey that attracted more than 25,000 participants, providing us with the data around which to construct an informed portrait of the ELLE Generation (based on 1,432 women 24 to 26 years old, if you want to get technical about it). We think you&amp;#039;ll agree they&amp;#039;ve come a long way (just don&amp;#039;t call them &amp;quot;baby&amp;quot;)\u2014not that they&amp;#039;re inclined to make a big deal out of it.
