Finarfin's daughter Galadriel went, I don't know about any sister.
And I also don't know about males being more powerful than females. Wasn't Luthien was the most powerful elf that ever lived...and Tolkien ranks Galadriel alongside Feanor in might...
Finarfin was married to a Teleri elf, Earwen of Alqualonde, and so was bound to take a very dim view of the kinslaying, more so than his brother Fingolfin. His children, being younger, perhaps put the desire for independence over family loyalty.
