Abstract

The text analises how women life is affected by the different "time measurements". Time in the life of women is closely connected with nature. The artificial "time measurements" are created by men in accordance with political and economical reasons and they reinforce the patriarchal system. Women usually do their tasks at home without having in mind the structured time arrangements and they have all their "time" occupied.
