http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-markets-most-influential/#yellen I found this profile within the 'Bloomberg Markets 50 Most Influential' series to be interesting. It puts some perspective on her background and cautious guidance of the Fed. Recommended reading, in my opinion. Follow the link atop the page to look at a list of the other 49 'Most Influential' people. HTH. YMMV.
I'll never forget the time she was testifying in front of Congress a while back. She was asked by Elizabeth Warren about some Fed member apparently telling someone they didn't like Dodd-Frank. Warren then badgered her about her own opinion of it, and I was hoping Yellen would have stood up to her and been firm in telling Warren that her personal opinions of the law were irrelevant, and not part of her job. But of course that didn't happen.
