Themes

[edit]

The film depicts the emancipation of women at the end of the 1970s. The radio advertisement during the theatrical release proclaimed: "Now it's the girls who flirt". As Thomas Morales notes, The Little Wheedlers captures "this shift where the strong woman takes power in relationships of seduction but above all where she questions the meaning of her life in a consumerist society".[3]
