Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article was to present the entrepreneurial behaviour of women who started a business in Wałbrzych (Poland) in 2013–2020, as well as an attempt to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in Poland in March 2020, had an impact on the entrepreneurial decisions of Wałbrzych female residents, with particular emphasis on the number and types of companies established by them. The analyses were performed on selected statistical data obtained from the Central Statistical Office – based mainly on the REGON database and on the PKD statement, with the use of reports of the State Agency for Enterprise Development. The analyses were based on the desc research method and deduction. The types of activity that were most popular among women deciding to set up their own companies were indicated, while the COVID-19 pandemic did not change the type of activity, which in all the years covered by the study was invariably the most frequently registered. A detailed analysis of the data revealed the diversity among newly established female economic activities.
