This paper of literature review intends to discuss the constraints faced by women in their leisure time, focusing particularly on the experience of lesbians. The authors discuss relevant aspects associated to the topic, such as gender expectations, family leisure, female homosexuality, homophobia, intersectionality between agents of social oppression, the use of urban spaces, and the very definition of what constitutes leisure. The intent of this paper is to present an overview of the theme and to help with future studies.
