I get a little frustrated with this too. There are other fields in which women are accomplished and successful. Why not showcase them a little more? I realize they are trying to give these girls a push into a career with the publicity they recieve as a titleholder, but why can't someone with other interests, someone who wants to be a doctor, lawyer, politician, scientist, writer? It seems like NJ & most states chooses girls with a clear motiviation for the "arts"? Girls with other interests work just as hard and deserve the recognition!
