Abstract
There is increasing evidence that men and women have different experiences of leisure, both in terms of their participation and in terms of needs fulfilled by leisure activities. Studies of leisure behaviour have in the past tended to neglect the effects of sex roles which may qualify and limit the results obtained from them. Growing impetus to study the constraints on women's leisure has come from the feminist movement. In order to understand leisure behaviour, however, study of the implications of both male and female sex roles for leisure choice is necessary.Keywords
