I think it's just the opposite. Sure, Eliza does rely on Higgins and Pickering. Eventually she doesn't need them anymore, breaks away and makes her own living with Freddy. I believe that is proof that the play isn't feminist. It makes a statement that women usually had limited futures in the time period and Eliza decide not to follow the status quot that upper class women married rich, upper class men.
