Credibility of female characters in King Lear

Would you agree or disagree with the following statement:

"The women in this play lack credibility as characters: Goneril and Regan for their evil features, and Cordelia, for her saintly qualities"

Any ideas on how to answer would really be appreciated.
Thank You.
