Yes, but that was only the British upper crust women that at least had the privilege of sitting around! Many of the poor & servant class women of that time had it worse. Like daylong hard drudgery just to survive, outright abuse, bad food, and no education at all, etc.. I think I'd choose the restrictions of the upper crust woman of that time and place, admittedly even their life could be hard in some ways...they usually had no say in who they married and could also be subject to emotional or physical abuse from their fathers and husbands. And of course, conventional education that their brothers had & a career was normally denied them.
