I don't think that's entirely accurate. The idea isn't to have a generic heroine, per se, it's to have heroines that are a specific type that readers find easy to identify with or project themselves onto. So "pretty but with modern attitudes re: gender equality and feminism that's a turn off to most men except the super hot hero who isn't a sexist pig" is a common one. So is "pretty but highly educated and bookish which is totally a bad thing in historical times".
