Summary/Abstract: Increasing the proportion of women in management is a "hot" topic of discussions. The purpose of the study is to find out if a change in the financial standing of companies translates into a change in the fraction of women in their management. The study covered 90 companies continuously listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2010-2019. The financial standing of the companies was assessed using synthetic vector measures calculated for financial data reported at the end of each year. The research did not show the existence of a relationship confirming that the percentage of women in management changes with the change in the financial situation of the companies.
