You're neatly avoiding the fact that in the time period and culture in which the book is set, women had little choice but to find fulfillment and meaning in motherhood because other choices were non-existent/frowned upon.

This is about OP's reaction to the book, which is driven by the modern perspective. And in modern times, we react the way we do precisely because this choice has historically not been one at all, and in that context, "liberation" has a very specific meaning.

But if we're looking at the book by itself, I'd say that bolsters the point. The reason why it's the worst thing just becomes something different: it's that she's akin to a prisoner.
