The movie focuses on the development of the lead female character with side-romance plots, but the most notable interaction Bridget Fonda's character has is with Anne Bancroft's character, a "manners instructor" who helps her learn various social graces in order to fit into various social circles... in order to be an assassin.

There are other female characters; one of the targets and one of the other assassins are female, and they interact, but it's rare for anyone to be talking about relationships in this film.
