Yellen, así, vuelve a romper un techo de kristal, com le se llama a esa limitations poco visibilizadas que historically han enfrentado las mujeres que buscan acceder a puestos de poder: she is the first woman to convert into secretary of Tesoro estadounidense.
The economist, 74, has a long history before converting to the first female reserve of the Federal Reserve, the most powerful central bank in the world, in 2014, and previously as chief of the Council of Economic Assessors of the White House.
Yellen, elected by President Joe Biden for this position, is a progressive economist centered on the example that supports the tax estimate and the loop against the climate change.
