美国总统就职日这对女性来说已经是历史性的，卡玛拉·哈里斯成为第一位成为副总统的女性和有色人种，她很快将加入一个类似的破纪录的内阁。
拜登的12个提名内阁和内阁级别的职位都是女性，包括八名有色人种女性，如果她们都被确认，这将打破前总统比尔·克林顿在第二个任期内九名女性同时任职的记录。
根据罗格斯大学美国妇女和政治中心的数据，前总统唐纳德·特朗普在任时，有六名女性同时任职，不包括两个扮演角色的女性
“乔·拜登在竞选期间承诺，他将努力确保他的政府看起来像它所服务的选民，”CAWP研究主任凯利·迪特马尔告诉美国广播公司新闻。“我认为，我们在他的内阁中看到的是，他已经非常接近兑现承诺。”
“这些女性将为她们的工作带来不同的生活经历和视角，这是国家最重要的政策工作之一，”她补充道。"他们领导的机构将制定未来四年的条款和议程。"
拜登提名的内阁和内阁级别的女性如下:

随着它的形成，拜登政府被广泛称赞为历史上最多样化的政府，但是一些进步人士表达了担忧一些被提名者的游说和公司关系。
像坦登这样的提名者招致共和党人的强烈批评有些人发誓要阻止她的确认。
一旦木槌切换，即将上任的民主党佐治亚参议员乔恩·奥索夫(Jon Ossoff)和拉斐尔·沃诺克(Raphael Warnock)宣誓就职，民主党将在上议院占据微弱多数，哈里斯(Harris)将是决定性的一票。
Biden Cabinet picks feature record number of women and women of color
Inauguration Dayalready was historic for women, with Kamala Harris becoming the first woman and person of color to become vice president, and she soon could be joined by a similarly record-breaking Cabinet.
Twelve of Biden'snominationsfor Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions are women, including eight women of color, and if they're all confirmed it would shatter former President Bill Clinton's record of nine women serving concurrently, which happened during his second term.
When former President Donald Trump was in office, six women served at the same time, excluding two who served in acting roles, per Rutgers University's Center of American Women and Politics
"Joe Biden made a commitment during his campaign that he would work to be sure that his administration looks like the constituencies it serves," Kelly Dittmar, director of research at CAWP, told ABC News. "I think what we're seeing in his Cabinet is that he's gotten pretty close to making good on that promise."
"These women will bring diverse lived experiences and perspectives to the work that they do, which is some of the most important policy work for the country," she added. "They're heading agencies that will set the terms and agenda for the next four years."
Here are the women nominated to Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions by Biden:
Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, has been nominated to serve as secretary of Housing and Urban Development. She's a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who worked closely with the Obama administration amid the 2009 recession, has been nominated to head the Department of Energy.
Isabel Guzman, director of the Office of the Small Business Advocate in California, has been selected to serve as administrator of the Small Business Administration.
Rep. Deb Haaland, D-N.M., who made history by becoming one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress in 2018, has been nominated to lead the Department of the Interior. If confirmed by the Senate, Haaland would be the first Native person to oversee an agency that played a major role historically in the forced relocation and oppression of Indigenous people.
Avril Haines was selected for the role of director of national intelligence. Haines is a former deputy director of the CIA and principal deputy national security adviser under the Obama administration -- the first woman to hold both roles.
Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo was nominated to head the Department of Commerce. She was elected governor in 2014 and is a former chair of the Democratic Governors Association.
Cecilia Rouse Chair, an economist and dean of Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs, was nominated to lead the president's Council of Economic Advisers.
Katherine Tai, who serves as chief trade counsel for the United States House Committee on Ways and Means, was chosen for the position of U.S. trade representative.
Neera Tanden, a political consultant and president of the Center of American Progress, was nominated to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a career foreign service officer who served as assistant secretary of state for Africa during the Obama administration, was tapped to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Janet Yellen, the first woman to head the Federal Reserve, was nominated as secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
As it takes shape, the Biden administration has been widely praised for being the most diverse in history, but someprogressives have voiced concernsover lobbying and corporate ties of some nominees.
Nominees like Tanden havedrawn intense criticism from Republicans, with some vowing to block her confirmation.
Once the gavel switches and incoming Democratic Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are sworn in, the Democratic Party will hold a slim majority in the upper chamber, with Harris as the tie-breaking vote.
