Abstract

The word leisure gives us a great sigh of relief, but the fact is that there is no leisure in the lives of women. Leisure is a male domain. Leisure time is denied to women since ages. She is so much over burdened with her house hold duties that she does not find any time for leisure. Giving leisure time to women means handing over the power to take her own decisions, and this is what the male dominated society never wants. Using leisure time effectively for games and sports is possible only for men. Only women who belong to upper class can have leisure time, for those belonging to the middle and lower classes leisure is a distant dream. In case they are able to draw out some time from their busy schedule by their hard work, they are not permitted to spend it for activity of their liking especially for outdoor games which are again considered to be meant for males only.
