It was a quite common idea in the upper middle class back in the day (let's say '20s to late 50s in the US with adjustments for countries in different stages of development up to very recently), somewhat after the initial women's liberation, but not so much so that women careers where not rare, that parents sent their girls to college not to study for a profession, but to snatch a husband.
