It's a satire on "sex and the city". By placing it in another era the absurdity of the show (and shows targeted at modern "feminist" women) is highlighted.
Real feminists don't think about sex (and shoes) almost exclusively.
It certainly sold itself as feminist and forward thinking, but the conservatism of USociety certainly took control of the scripts early on.
Other than the artist (who is a woman) thinks some women don't make good sufragettes, I'm not sure either.
