Elizabeth Wurtzel: The "It" Girl of Generation X

Sovereign Syre and Ela Darling profile writer and icon, Elizabeth Wurtzel. A beautiful, young, Harvard graduate whose memoir Prozac Nation got her on the New York Times Bestseller List and made her an overnight celebrity. She also suffered from major depression and was one of the first people to be prescribed the drug Prozac. She was both a media darling, and roundly mocked by others, for what was perceived as a kind of narcissism endemic of a new generation, a cohort labeled Gen X.
