I'm trying to find a previous discussion on this that had some numbers, but the same "early quitting" pattern is seen at the university level. Women go into STEM, do badly in a class, then change majors. So yes, there's definitely a pipeline issue, but that issue is the same root cause. Sounds like we need a root-cause analysis to find and fix the underlying issue.
EDIT: Can't find the previous discussion I'm looking for, but Wikipedia has a pretty good section with hard numbers:
