| Abstract | In the last three decades, there has been a growing concern regarding the dearth of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) degree attainment for women. Women are considered the untapped resource with an affinity towards STEM fields; however, they tend to be absent in higher education commencements across the country. After nearly 30 years for a call to action by economists, scientists, workforce organizations, and the government, this disparity is chronically pervasive in these academic disciplines. Women entering into STEM fields are seen as crucial as it ensures the continuation of intellectual capital--the 21st century commodity needed for global competitiveness and strong economy. The study's impetus was to understand those women who, despite the historical and modern barriers have maneuvered to success through the STEM pipeline from undergraduate degree procurement to career. This success has been daunting for all women, due to their historical educational legacy of sexism. However, some have had even a greater challenge to achievement due to the intersectionality of experiences which are layered with systemic barriers of not only a legacy of sexism, but, racism as well (double-bind). This qualitative study sought to generate a deeper insight of double-bind, female's persistence in STEM pursuits of degree attainment into their career entrance. An extension of Padilla's (2009) Expertise Model of Student Success (EMSS) framed the STEM graduates as the experts to produce the Graduate Success Profiles (GSP). The lens of this study utilized critical and sociocultural theories to examine this phenomenon and remove the historic opacity and discover the emancipatory attributes surrounding female STEM attainments. The study discussed how eight female STEM graduate career professionals successfully maneuvered through the obstacles of STEM degree to career. Included in this study, were findings related to challenges in integration, normative content, socialization processes, and resource motifs.
