Women in the headlines this week span the divide between what is right and what we think may be wrong? You decide.

The most powerful woman in the US, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen breaks the seven year drought and raises interest rates a quarter of a point.  Did it even matter to the world markets? In business news, Avon CEO Sherilyn McCoy agrees to a $435 million equity stake by Cerebus in hopes to keep her company alive, power house woman Padmasree Warrior, former CTO of Cisco Systems finds a new home at NextEV as CEO, will her jump from corporate america to entrepreneurship prove successful as well? And we discuss the dichotomy of cover stories, Bloomberg Business Week's cover of Elizabeth Holmes, Founder of Theranos Labs and Serena Williams on the cover of Sports Illustrated.  Both have and continue to be criticized for what they wear or not wear, have we progressed past our clothes as a defining moment for women in the headlines?

We also have more updates on women headliners in business, entrepreneurship, sports and the media.  Listen to our newest episode On Demand!
