To provide empirical evidence, an analysis of the representation of female directors in Spain is presented. This study also aims to examine the effects of the recommendations on gender diversity contained in the Spanish Good Corporate Governance Code and in the Effective Equality Act 2007. The results show the scant presence of women on Spanish boards until 2013, but reports of 2013 reveal changes in that respect, and statistically significant differences can be observed compared with previous years, probably due to the amendment of the Companies Act 2010. However, the draft EU Directive on improving the gender balance seems to be the only way to reach effective gender equality. 000136239 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000136239 590__ $$a0.773$$b2016 000136239 591__ $$aLAW$$b81 / 145 = 0.559$$c2016$$dQ3$$eT2 000136239 591__ $$aBUSINESS$$b107 / 121 = 0.884$$c2016$$dQ4$$eT3 000136239 592__ $$a0.387$$b2016 000136239 593__ $$aBusiness and International Management$$c2016$$dQ2 000136239 593__ $$aPolitical Science and International Relations$$c2016$$dQ2 000136239 593__ $$aLaw$$c2016$$dQ2 000136239 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000136239 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-6511-1893$$aEsteban-Salvador, Luisa$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000136239 7102_ $$14003$$2165$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
