Definitely passes, but to give a specific example, the conversation between Elinor and Marianne at 1:41.58-1:42.18:
M: “Elinor, where is your heart?”
E: “What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering? For weeks Marianne I’ve had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hopes.”
Conversation between to named female characters which is not about a man, so this definitely passes.
