DeVos, Sec of Education and Elaine Chao, Sec of Transportation. Neither department of the high critical nature like Sec of State (Tillerson), Sec of Defense (Mattis), Attorney General (Sessions). These departments are caught up in the Russian collusion accusations. so are high profile right now. Sec of Health and Human Services(Price) has been getting a lot of exposure because of the Repeal and Replace Obamacare (ACA) efforts in congress.

The other 2 women with cabinet level positions:

Nikki Haley Ambassador to the United Nations

Linda McMahon, Administrator of the Small Business Administration

Not really high profile positions.

Even under Pres Obama you could go months and never hear some of the Cabinet members mentioned. We were fortunate that we had HRC (SoS), Loretta Lynch ((AG) and Katherine Sebelius(HHS) who were all prominently in the news during their tenures.
