I think the novel Gentlemen prefer blondes is an accurate representation and gives a timeline how women use their looks to exploit men in order to get ahead in life. Some Women of today's modern society use their looks to advance in life. Media, and television display this behavior quite frequently. The movie Pretty woman is a reference to how women use their looks to use men. I thought it was interesting that the book showed that this behavior isn't something that recently popped up, but has been happening for decades, and generations of women.
