One of the most amazing things that I think I covered in my book is how important leisure time is to our well-being and how little access to it women have ever had. When you look at the history of leisure, high-status men have always been the ones who have had access to leisure—long stretches of it and guilt-free. Sure, we recall some women like queens or “the women who lunch” were not exactly getting their hands dirty, but this was only ever a reflection of the status of the men in their lives. Women, on their own, have never had a sense of deserving leisure.
