Don't judge by the dress, even if they were upper class. They were taught "womanly skills" so they'd have an easier time getting them married.
Also, tend farm doesn't mean "work the fields", but anything from doing household chores to supervising workers.
Outside of southern plantation owners, they weren’t rich in other parts of the world, more akin to tenant farmers migrating to cities cause pay is so shit than hundreds horses type guys. Big successful farmer before mechanization was somewhat rare
I’m more on the “they didn’t have money for that stuff”, not that people in crinoline are functionally incapable
I'm sorry this just is not true. Large landowners and upper class farmers have been a staple of humanity since roughly always. Fancy lady schools in Germany and Scandinavia at the time of flappers were actually teaching skills like farm household management to old money ladies. Other skills taught include cleaning carcasses, first aid, cleaning, cooking, and sewing.
a considerable part of human social and technological changes have been centered around "farming fucking sucks, i wish i didn't have to do it"
