Women and leisure

I found this quote from a Slate article interesting, especially in light of our discussion about video games:

In her wonderful book Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time, Washington Post reporter Brigid Schulte recommends that women allow themselves to really play. "Understand that for women, there never has been a history or culture of leisure or play, unless you consider sweeping, making cheese, churning butter, quilting and knitting your kind of fun."

  1. That book sounds interesting! Although cheese-making, quilting, and knitting are in fact my kind of fun.
