"This one is very special to me, because the Women's Hall of Fame is about the story of women in America and their struggle to achieve equality. And to me, it makes me part of that story."
"I see myself as being situated in this having benefited from what generations before did and inspired me, and hoping that you know my story can inspire future generations."
"I feel good about my ability to take my training in economics and my long-held view that the purpose of economics is to improve outcomes for people, especially people who are struggling to succeed."
Janet Yellen has made history as the first woman to lead the Federal Reserve and serve as Treasury Secretary. She is also the only person to hold the three major U.S. economic leadership roles. Yellen will be inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2026, an honor she values for its connection to women's struggles for equality. She reflects on her career, acknowledging the influence of previous generations and expressing hope that her story will inspire future women leaders in economics.
