May 6 (UPI) -- Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, in an unusually personal speech at her alma mater, argued for greater participation by women in the workforce.
Yellen spoke at Brown University, where she reminisced about women and family members, including her husband's aunt, who attended Brown in the 1920s, and struggled to overcome gender stereotypes in her career as a mathematician. The speech was entitled "So We Can All Succeed."
