Back in the old days, when options for women were few, the next "level"-- or more accurately, the next life event, was marriage. The custom of wealthy elite families officially introducing their daughters to upper-class society (the word "debutante" refers to making one's "debut") meant these young ladies were ready for marriage; the purpose was to let them meet upper-class men from wealthy families who might be interested in marrying them. Today, with far more options for women, including college and careers, wealthy elite young women still may participate in this custom, but now it is more to demonstrate that they are from upper-class society, rather than just let their wealthy peers know they are eligible for marriage.
