Abstract
This article provides a critique of the main theoretical approaches in the analysis of gender and leisure policy. Whilst the feminist revision of other areas of policy analysis is relatively well developed (education and health, for example) such a revision is as yet embryonic in the area of leisure policy. This article comprises three sections. In the first section, approaches to gender and leisure policy which have emerged from the state departments with a responsibility for leisure policy are evaluated. In the second section, feminist critiques of leisure policy are evaluated. In the final section, the claim that progressive change is being made in terms of breaking down gender segregation in leisure management is evaluated.
