A Leisure of One’s Own: A Feminist Perspective on Women’s Leisure

A Leisure of One's Own is a unique introduction to issues and questions about women and their leisure, offering a social psychological analysis from a feminist perspective. The book is clearly set out to enable the reader to examine the various aspects of women's leisure and to continue with further research and analysis. The authors begin by examining the reasons for studying women and leisure, and continue by investigating the patriarchal structures in society through the past century. These are then re-examined from the feminist perspective, revealing a parallel between the changing social roles of women and their recreational and leisure opportunities. At the end of each chapter there is a useful summary which provides a framework for further analysis and research into the future of women's leisure.
