Summary This study explores gender differences in space‐time constraints and their impact on women's and men's activity‐travel patterns from a time‐geographic perspective. Using a travel diary data set collected in Columbus, Ohio (USA), the time‐budget and fixity constraints of three population subgroups are examined. This paper concludes that space‐time constraints have a significant impact on individual's activity‐travel patterns.
