The results show that the existence of female directors in the board of directors will optimize the capital structure, and the increase in the proportion of female directors in the board of directors will improve the speed of capital structure adjustment; Due to the characteristics of conservative and cautious women, the existence of female directors in the board of directors will reduce the risk of stock price collapse; Based on the perspective of collapse risk, female directors still improve the speed of capital structure adjustment.
