On the one hand, they conformed to traditional female virtues such as obedience to their husbands and lifelong fidelity. This internalization of values led them to endure emotional anxieties and existential dilemmas within marriage. On the other hand, intellectual women also demonstrated subjective agency by pursuing companionate marriages based on intellectual compatibility and spiritual equality. They even expressed dissatisfaction with their marital relationships.
