The approach used here is an ethnographic one, through participative observation and narratives of working and leisure experiences. These workers everyday life reveals itself in the construction of their leisure time as related to their time of drudgery, in public as well as in private spaces. The responsibility of working away from home, as well as of carrying through domestic chores and of devoting themselves to their husband and their children was imposed upon women in a manipulative manner. This fact deprived women of their possibility of practicing and enjoying leisure activities. With the coming of the so called triple working day, women began organizing new strategies to elaborate, to organize, to create and to turn leisure activities possible. The interpretation of the trajectories of the lives of twenty women workers of a shoe plant in Sobral-CE was realized by the means of an ethnographic study. The thesis consists of the analysis of the construction of social times and of leisure practices, in a context interpenetrated by the cultural conditionings of much work and economic difficulties. The aim of the study was to understand how the women workers of Sobral-CE construct their practices and representations about free time and leisure in the web of sociabilities (possibilities, necessities, dilemmas and dreams). Everyday life is here defined as an ontological dimension of human life. Hence, it does not limit itself to the rituals, the celebrations or the exceptional conditions usually discussed by researchers / Neste Trabalho, buscou-se compreender o tempo feminino a partir das trajet?rias de 22 mulheres oper?rias sobralenses que constroem o tempo livre e o tempo de lazer na dimens?o de um cotidiano marcado pela din?mica de muito trabalho e pouco lazer. Utilizou-se da abordagem etnogr?fica, da observa??o participante e de narrativas da experi?ncia de trabalho e de lazer das oper?rias sobralenses. O cotidiano das oper?rias se revela na constru??o de seus tempos de lazer articulado aos seus tempos de labuta, tanto nos espa?os p?blicos quanto nos espa?os privados. A responsabilidade de trabalhar fora de casa, de realizar o trabalho dom?stico e dedicar-se ao marido e aos filhos foi ensinada ?s mulheres de forma manipulat?ria. A tripla jornada de trabalho privou as mulheres de praticarem e usufru?rem das atividades de lazer. Com o advento da chamada tripla jornada, as mulheres come?aram organizar novas estrat?gias de elaborar, criar, vivenciar e viabilizar o mundo do lazer. A partir de um estudo etnogr?fico, constituiu-se a interpreta??o das trajet?rias de vida de vinte e duas mulheres oper?rias de uma f?brica de cal?ados de Sobral-CE. A Tese constituiu-se da an?lise acerca da constru??o dos tempos sociais e das pr?ticas de lazer, no contexto permeado pelos condicionantes culturais de muito trabalho e dificuldades econ?micas. A pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender como as mulheres oper?rias sobralenses constroem suas pr?ticas e representa??es acerca de tempo livre e de lazer na teia das sociabilidades (possibilidades, necessidades, dilemas e sonhos). A vida cotidiana ? aqui definida, como uma dimens?o ontol?gica da vida humana. Pois, esta n?o se resume aos rituais, ?s festas ou ?s condi??es excepcionais, sobre os quais os pesquisadores normalmente se debru?am
