Description

The term "pipeline" describes the typical fencing career progression: from beginner, to student, to instructor and/or competitor, and the "leakiness" signifies that women are leaving the path at multiple stages, unlike men. 


In this episode we look at the key aspects, contributing factors, and possible solutions to the leaky HEMA pipeline.
