The article highlights a little-studied aspect of women's everyday life in Kazakhstan: the leisure sphere. The purpose of the work is to analyze changes in the organization and content of women's leisure. Objectives include identifying factors influencing leisure structure and content, analyzing archival data and periodicals, and assessing the impact of economic and socio-cultural conditions on women's leisure.

The relevance of the problem stems from its insufficient study in modern historiography and the importance of understanding leisure's role in women's lives in a changing society. In the 1990s, the structure of leisure for Kazakhstanis, including women, was determined by economic factors, while its content was influenced by the socio-cultural conditions of that time. Women faced limitations in choosing leisure forms, with passive types of pastime prevailing.

In the early 2000s, positive changes in the republic's economy and active globalization and informatization processes led to the development of the cultural and leisure sphere. These conditions facilitated higher quality and more diverse leisure opportunities for women. Particular attention is paid to the cities of Northern Kazakhstan, where significant changes have occurred in women's leisure activities, new opportunities, and forms of spending free time, reflecting general trends in the republic's leisure development.
