Albeit the maritime word is traditionally considered as a solely male domain, starting from the second half of the Nineteenth century several women as shipowners, maritime staff and also fisher[wo]men rode the waves of the Upper and Eastern Adriatic.
The Marie Skłodowska Currie Actions (MSCA) Project “We Can Do It!
