The writers of Victorian novels presented women that married outside their class - or made character a priority within their class - precisely because these were rare exceptions to the overall rule. The rule is ably represented in the squadrons of aunts in any Wodehouse novel, or perhaps best of all by the human gargoyle in The Importance of Being Earnest (I've forgotten her name). Comic exaggeration, of course, but the archetype is clear enough, and I'm sure that the vast majority of the young women of the age went unquestioningly along with it.
