The multivariate regression analysis is applied, and the secondary data is gathered from mutli-sources are analyzed using SPSS and Gretl. The finding shows a positive effect of women's representation in supervisory boards and stock market liquidity. In addition, women's representation in the supervisory board independent is positively related to stock market liquidity. Finally, the relationship between the women with business education backgrounds on the supervisory board and stock market liquidity is negatively documented.
