I come from a long line of well educated, and very INDEPENDENT females. We didn't need to join a "feminist" group (or the Greens) to organise ourselves and lead full and happy lives away from the kitchen, or "marry well" to attain independence.
In the 19th century and early 20th century - marrying well meant very little in terms of independence. It wasn't an option. A female had to do what the male wanted whether she liked it or not. Females couldn't vote and even when they inherited their parent's money - they had to hand it over to their husband. He controlled everything if he chose to, which many of them did, because that's how they were raised. If it hadn't been for the sufragettes - we probably still wouldn't be able to vote today.

Just as ISIS would like us to revert to.
