Isn't feminism supposed to be about being considered equal in capabilities in men and being able to make their own choices?

Both women are happy in the end and want each other to be happy. Their husbands respect them and value them for who they are. In fact, the two couples marry in spite of some serious social issues regarding money and land (namely, Elinor and Marianne have none). No, they're not going out and becoming barristers, but that wasn't exactly feasible at the time.

Austen's work is usually a commentary on social structure more than gender politics, although to think she wasn't *acutely* aware of the unfairness women faced (especially if not married) is ridiculous. You only need look at her "old maid" type characters for that.
