You are probably doomed - though thankfully these days the female of the species isn't expected to be ornamental and subservient, which caused ructions in my teenage years.
I rather suspect that your daughter is simply being normal for an intelligent female, it is just that in the past there were few outlets for any talent, and many women who could have been outstanding were ridiculed for their lack of feminine attributes.
I have an almost identical IQ, and can get a tune out of most instruments, though my dyslexia makes reading music almost impossible, so I learnt many of my songs by hearing them. Once.
I also have a tendency to take things apart, though most of the time I can get them back together and working, so you might want to be thankful if that is not in your daughter's makeup.
Oh - I did Biology, Chemistry and Physics at A level - should have done Chemistry, Maths and Physics but the Maths teacher was a misogynist and did not believe that girls were capable of doing the work.
I took Maths as part of my BSc later, just to spite him, I think.
