"When I moved out to L.A., I was 17," Dushku said in an interview at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour. Joss Whedon and her "were talking about sort of my experience and what it's like to sort of be a young woman in this business and that feeling, ... that universal theme, of ... you wake up every day and you feel like everyone wants you to be a different person.

Dollhouse is about Echo (Eliza Dushku) who is part of a group of people who have their minds imprinted with different personality traits (packages if you will) which includes memories, skills, language and even specific muscle memory for different assignments that they're given, or hired for.

The assignments the "residents" receive range from romantic, to adventurous, to even illegal. When they aren't out on assignment, Echo and the others are mind-wiped and live like children in a dormitory / laboratory called the Dollhouse. Source

The logline don't lie: "Echo (Eliza Dushku) is a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else.
