description This paper explores the relationship between female directors and the quality of accounting information. it takes 51 enterprises from 2008 to 2018 as samples, selects the proportion of female directors, age, education background and financial background to study the personal characteristics. The results show that: the percentage of female directors is directly proportional to the accounting information; the higher the female director's education, the higher the quality of information; the female directors with financial background have a specific positive effect on the improvement of accounting information.
