Abstract
Relations among women have always been complex. However, this complexity varies depending on the context and the people involved. Relationships that gain different characteristics in male-dominated environments take on an extra dimension when it comes to the maritime sector. In this study, it is emphasized that the conditions onboard and at school are similar in terms of primary relationships. Based on this, the parallelism between the relationships among women onboard a ship and women faculty members in a maritime university was studied. As a result, it was concluded that the harsh conditions of the maritime field brought women closer together and encouraged them to support each other, and that this support continued in educational institutions.
