    There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing. I had a roommate in college who would wake up before dawn to do her makeup so nobody would see her without it.

    (Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)

      And depending on the era, certainly in England, many high society people didn’t get out of bed until 11am or midday.
