About Beyond the Pipeline

Beyond the Pipeline dismantles the outdated myth that women in STEMM simply “leak” from the system. Instead, this powerful collection explores the systemic pressures that drive talented women to confront the question: Do I stay, or do I go?

Through the voices of scientists, engineers, academics, executives, entrepreneurs, stay-at-home parents, and allies from around the globe, Beyond the Pipeline weaves together honest personal stories with bold, actionable strategies for change. Readers will feel seen, connect through shared experiences, and gain new perspectives on challenges they may not have realized others face.

This book isn’t just for women—share it with mentors, managers, and partners to spark conversations that build empathy, inspire action, and create lasting impact.
