Where Are the Women Fencing Coaches?

Take a look around any large tournament and you’ll find a lack of women coaching fencers. In 2019-2020 fencing season, WFencing released a report card. The report card looked at a lot of different roles within USA Fencing, NCAA, and USFCA, among other groups, to see how women were represented in senior, professional roles. However, the report card did not take a look at individual clubs and how they were staffed. I was curious to take a snapshot of how clubs present themselves and their coaches through their websites to see how prevalent women were at the club level.
