In Turkey, family and society are subjected to the process of social transformation in every
area in which they are constructed. When the family structure in Turkey is examined, the
traditional large families, nuclear families, small and single-parent families can be observed.
When the family structure changes to the nuclear family, responsibilities in the family have
started to change as well. In particular, as the role of and the need toward mothers increased
in working life, although they used to be the only one interested in the child in the past, now
fathers have begun to concern themselves with their children and education better. Therefore,
this study analyzed the father-child relationship in the daily life narratives of working women
academicians. In this regard, 15 women, who were working in Yozgat, were interviewed indepth.
The sociological perspective evaluates father/fatherhood in related with masculinity
rather than being biologically male. The fatherhood is influenced by the social structure and
forms the structure of the society with the meanings attributed to fatherhood. In this sense, this
study examined the paternity perception of the spouses of the interviewed women from the
perspective of women within the context of “involved fatherhood” literature. In this sense, the
study showed that the perception of the father-child relationship by women academicians is
structured within the framework of traditional gender roles attributed to men and women in
Turkish society. It was seen in the narratives of women with higher education, such as
academic education, had very limited effects on their husbands’ perception of fatherhood in
their family lives and that fathers were affected by both the conservative structure of their own
families and the perception of masculinity in the society.
