Cecilia Rouse persevered despite the bias against women in economics. When President Biden nominated Rouse, he called her "one of the most distinguished economists in the country; an expert on labor economics, race, poverty, and education." The Senate voted 95 to 4 to confirm her to lead the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA). Rouse's ethos is to design economic policies that are effective in the big picture regarding race and ethnicity.
 
This portrait honors Rouse for standing up to the discrimination, harassment, exclusion, and hostility women often face in her field.
