What is the main conflict in Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk?

Marjorie is expected to become a typical Jewish housewife. Marjorie, however, has plans of her own. Typical of most teenagers, she sees her mother as controlling and domineering, attempting to manage every aspect of Marjorie's social life, including "arrangements" of encounters with young Jewish men who are destined to become professionals and who have respectable parents of means.
