Women's Leisure as Reproduction and Resistance

Jane Du

National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, janedu{at}mail.npust.edu.tw

This article examines the experiences of 31 participants in three women's folk dance groups in Taiwan through the reproduction/resistance perspectives, which regard leisure as a means either to enhance or to challenge traditional gender ideologies and inequities. The findings suggest that the difference between reproducing or resisting societally imposed constraints lies in the negotiation strategy that is used, rather than in constraining factors, and that the coping strategy of negotiation is critical for women's resistance. Implications for social work are discussed.

Key Words: gender socialization • negotiation • reproduction and resistance • women's leisure
