Abstract
Sociology is the study of society. However, not all aspects of society get the same scholarly attention by academics. Throughout my research program, I have highlighted some of the lesser-covered areas of society, like feminine leisure seen in activities such as quilting, knitting, and membership in the Red Hat Society. In this article, I discuss how the development of sociology as a discipline has focused on public matters in society like the economy, leaving non-economic or private activities with less attention. My research on women's feminine leisure from a third-wave feminism perspective importantly addresses a gap in the discipline.
