How on Earth could she be a feminist if feminism hadn't been invented yet? And even if it had been invented (I can't work out when True Grit is set), would she have heard of it?

Honestly, strong character doesn't necessarily equal "feminist" and that's ok.

Yes, there were 19th century feminists. For that matter, there were 18th century feminists.

What's funny is that Portis's True Grit (which the movie is based on) predates Eastwood's Unforgiven by about 20 years. One gunslinger is a monster, the other one is an opportunist, and the heroine does what's best for her family primarily through force of legal persuasion.
