Pioneers in Skirts® is an inspiring film about the obstacles that can limit a girl’s & woman’s pioneering ambition, and what we ALL can do about it.
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 she wasn’t alone.
