You are right about Eugenie Grandet and maybe it as to do with the country life setting of the novel where women and specialy daughters were more submissive.
Father Gorio has also some very strong women,a bit similar in the ones in Cousin Bette.
I think the difference is betwin Paris and the country,with the lives of the courtisannes and the power of speculation.Cesar Birauto is special in that he has more a provincial mind and is crushed by the Paris intrigues.The women in it represent the good sense.
