The subject of research presented in the article is the managerial career of women in the context of Polish job market. The following research questions were formulated: 1. Which career models are most often realized by women? 2. What characterizes the so-called women's management style? 3. How does women's managerial career form on the Polish job market as compared to other countries in Europe and the rest of the world? In order to answer these research questions, article authors used method of critical subject literature analysis as well as a systematic review of research reports. The following results where formulated: the participants of women in managerial positions in Polish enterprises is large enough to allow Poland to be placed on the third place among 32 countries included in research by "Women in Business 2020", ahead of countries such as USA, Great Britain, Germany and France. These are, however, usually positions of medium and lower groups. Women in Poland constitute only 6% of CEO positions and only 15% of highest managerial positions. More than half of women admit experiencing hardship in career development due to their gender. Women which succeeded in managerial career path are in a great majority expressing an opinion that women and men in Poland do not have equal opportunities in career development and promotion perspectives. Moreover, women and men are not treated equally by employers on the job market. Women are less frequently taking up roles of business experts in the media and conferences. That is despite the fact of women having a higher level of education — more than 66% of university graduates in Poland are women.
