I think you're missing the point. We actually have a version of this framed in our home. It states that well behaved women rarely make history. The point being, as a father of three daughters, I don't want them to feel hemmed in by convention and shortchange the world of all of the potential they bring because they were trying to be compliant with the unreasonable constraints of society of what a woman should be. I think that there is a lot of gray area between being well behaved and being ill behaved. It is not a binary thing. Marie Curie is a good example. If she had been "well behaved" by the standards of her day, she would never have been the first person to win two Nobel prizes.
