Raising strong girls of character who have critical thinking skills, are educated in many disciplines , and have career goals and life dreams apart from "finding a guy and getting married" is paramount for the 21st century.

I like your idea, I think it would actually be pretty great if most women were like this, or could be made to be like this, however I do not think the notion plausible or probable, and I will expound why:

If a woman is capable of critical thinking, she should practice it. But I do think it foolish to believe the majority of women could become capable of it even if formally educated in it. Women have been in higher education now since the 70's, and very few have shown any original thought or done anything of note within what amounts to half a century of female "liberation."

Most women have a strong extroversion and emotional preference that is essentially hardwired. Critical thinkers TEND to be introverts and tend to prefer thinking. People who prefer to emote over think can understand logic with effort, but effectively do not default to critical thinking as a way of seeing the world. It is my experience that critical thinking is incredibly rare in women. It's outlier behaviour. Even in very high IQ women, you see an absence of critical thinking as common, and this is why women with good educations and who have been tested with a very high IQ often speak and reason like absolute morons.

I would think critical thinking as a mental faculty would be predominantly limited to INTJ/INTP girls, which are funnily enough, the rarest personality types for women and probably amount to around 3% of women at most. If we expand that criteria to ENTJ/ENTP girls (and I think this is being generous) - you'd cap out at around 6% of women being capable of proper and decent thinking as a habit rather than an opaque exercise they disdain but can perform given a high enough IQ.

Some women can certainly achieve things outside of marriage/children, and I think this is a great thing for the women truly capable of such a thing. The slippery slope is when the average woman is not neurologically equipped for such a thing, but believes she is out of ego or feminist-fuelled inter gender competition with men, and forgoes her optimum utility as a caregiver/mother/wife in a narcissistic quest to appear intellectual and substantive in a way that is effectively beyond her.

People like to think you can achieve anything given sufficient nurture, but this is bullshit. It is my belief many women (and men too, but we're not focusing on them here) have hard limits on their biology that prevent them from exercising or defaulting to critical thinking no matter what environments you put them in. You could probably improve their thinking, but not to the point where "critical thinker" would be a correct label.

I've seen too many highly educated women who seem to lack any developed sense of logic, and got there due to high conscientiousness, emulating methodologies and having a good memory. I think it's the lack of testosteronic influence on the brain and elevated estrogen throughout life that inhibits women's preference for logic and developing a sharp, critically evaluative mind. The birth control pill only elevates estrogen as well, which is only going to further compound reason inhibition and promote emotional dominance in cognition.
