Janet Yellen is the first woman ever to be nominated to lead the Federal Reserve, arguably the most powerful economic job in the United States. Her nomination marks a rising tide of strong women in economic policy, from Senator Elizabeth Warren to White House Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Matthew Burwell. What’s even…
The video didn’t mention this, but according to a (fairly sexist) law, her official title will be “Chairman of the Federal Reserve.” Can’t we get some gender-neutral titles up in here?
