| Tiivistelmä: | This paper investigates the presence and roles of female directors of U.S. Fortune 500 firms, focusing on committee assignments and director backgroud. By examining a recent data set with a logistic regression model it is shown that female directors are less likely than male directors to sit on executive committees and more likely than male directors to sit on public affairs committees. There is little if any evidence of systematic gender bias in director assignments to other board committees. |
