| Résumé : | This article attempts to respond to three queries which may broaden understanding of the question of women’s free time: where are the inequities between men and women and between various groups of women, and how does work outside the home influence the management of free time? What effect do the traditional images of women have on perception and uses of free time? Multivaried analyses show that age, level of education and type of work can have very different effects, depending on the social groups and leisure activities. More and more women are observed as managing their free time as something important which links together disparate elements which may even be antagonistic, but ensure a more polymorphous expression of the female being. © 1992 Presses de I’Universitá du Quábec. |
