Abstract
As American life becomes increasingly leisure-oriented, the effective participation of the educated homemaker in activities beyond the requirements of housekeeping and family responsibilities assumes added importance for her personal fulfillment and the welfare of society. This study investigates the background characteristics and perceptions of homemaking tasks of 181 women's college alumne as related to patterns of leisure participation categorized as community welfare, self-enrichment, or recreational. The data substantiate certain associations of leisure role emphasis with age, social class, years married, college achievement, number and age of children, household and child-care help, and enjoyment and perceived mastery of homemaking.
