1. Brooklyn does it again!

Yellen was born in a Polish Jewish[4] family in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of New York City's Brooklyn borough,[5] where she also grew up. Her mother was Anna Ruth (née Blumenthal; 1907–1986),[6] an elementary school teacher, and her father Julius Yellen (1906–1975),[7] a family physician, who worked from the ground floor of their home.[8][4][9] Her mother quit her job to take care of Janet and her older brother, John.[8][10] She graduated from local Fort Hamilton High School as a valedictorian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Yellen
