the film is a catalyst for meaningful conversation about cultural bias, sexism, and unfair stereotypes.
Pioneers in Skirts follows Ashley’s journey as she examines the barriers and setbacks women confront in their careers.
The problem: Many women battle a bias that is eroding their ambition. There are mountains of research (study…after study…after study) that reveal women start out their careers with more ambition than men, but as soon as 2 years out of college women’s confidence and ambition plummets by over 60%. These declines came independent of marriage or motherhood status. And, this phenomenon affects women across professions.
Why the dashed expectations? Why the burn out…so soon!?
THIS is what Ashley was going through!
Admittedly, she was relieved to know I wasn’t alone.
The film is an engaging socially conscious documentary that examines WHY women and girls have dashed expectations, and addresses the stereotyping and sexism that can chip away at a woman, hurt her potential, and make her feel like she must re-think her dreams. Real-life stories and frank commentary leave viewers seeing their role in the solution, feeling hopeful, and motivated to act.
