This article explores the idea that women in western societies, including those with male partners and/or children, may perceive and use their leisure, including holidays, to disrupt intensified life styles, or to interrupt the domination of clock time and work routines. Recent trends in research and theorizing on women's leisure, including post-structuralist and postmodernist critiques of such leisure, are examined, particularly for their theoretical and methodological sensitivity to, and use of, concepts of time. It is argued that leisure can take many different forms, depending on the social class, paid work, cultural capital and household situation of individual women. However, since much leisure may itself be subject to time intensification, holidays, including those taken at home, may provide a way in which women can `slow down' and escape for a while from hectic lives. Using recent pilot research work, the article also suggests ways in which these ideas could be more extensively researched
