Carol's character has grown, Michone as well so it looks like TWD writers have a clue. But good gravy, it's like they went back to the Lori / Andrea model from season 2 for female characters in FTWD.

You have to keep in mind that these characters know a lot less about what's happening than we do, and even less than the characters in the first episode of the original Walking Dead did.

The ex-wife doesn't know what's happening, the daughter hasn't seen a zombie and has no reason to believe that her boyfriend is doomed, the main woman is still not entirely sure she didn't murder someone. It's a fundamental flaw in the concept of the show, but it's not a problem with the depiction of the female characters.
