What qualities do you like about Jeanette?

Blair Brown: Jeanette is an economist who has made her way and is tough cookie. To be a female economist! Talk about an all-boy world. The other day I was researching to see how many honorary degrees Janet Yellen has. And any male who has that kind of position of power has a string of honorary degrees. She has two or three. I thought, they wont give you even that. Jeanette is also a really good mother and sophisticated person. And yes, shes a bit of a gossip, but most people I know are. Its not admirable, but shes human.
