Christine Lagarde has traveled tirelessly to save the euro and blazed a trail for women from Chicago to Paris in halls of power long dominated by men.
The French finance minister with a broad grin and long stride now faces her toughest job yet: heading the International Monetary Fund. She takes over a post vacated by a man accused of attempting to rape a New York hotel maid just as the fund is under new pressure to stabilize the global economy.
Lagarde was named Tuesday as Europe hung on tenterhooks to see if Greece can be saved from a default that could quake markets around the world and threaten the future of the euro currency.
