And in that time, they created art, philosophy, literature, they made scientific discoveries and sank into what psychologists call the peak human experience of flow. Women aren\u2019t expected to flow. I read feminist leisure research (who knew such a thing existed?) and international studies that found women around the globe felt that they didn\u2019t deserve leisure time. It felt too selfish. Instead, they felt they had to earn time to themselves by getting to the end of a very long To Do list. Which, let\u2019s face it, never ends. I began to realise that time is power. That time is a feminist issue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='attribution'>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailylife.com.au\/health-and-fitness\/dl-wellbeing\/brigid-schulte-why-time-is-a-feminist-issue-20150309-13zimc.html\">Brigid Schulte: Why time is a feminist issue<\/a> (via <a href=\"http:\/\/librarianbyday.tumblr.com\/\" class=\"tumblr_blog\">librarianbyday<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>*immediately books holiday*<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/hermionejg.tumblr.com\/\" class=\"tumblr_blog\">hermionejg<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The whole article is pretty great<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/get-yr-social-work-rage-on.tumblr.com\/\" class=\"tumblr_blog\">get-yr-social-work-rage-on<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I feel like the cruelest bitch in the world even mentioning that I only work 4-day weeks (I mean I make like no money but um, ittttttt ruuuuuulessssss).\u00a0 It feels so decadent, but actually it\u2019s so humane.<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/haventreadthat.tumblr.com\/post\/117454653695\/i-came-to-learn-that-women-have-never-had-a\">haventreadthat<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>time is a feminist issue! reporting from the field on my own contributions to a culture of leisure.<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/karaj.tumblr.com\/\" class=\"tumblr_blog\">karaj<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came to learn that women have never had a history or culture of leisure.
