GM Chooses the First Woman to Lead an Auto Company

Hosted by

Earlier this week, the US government sold its last shares of General Motors. Today, the company named the first female to head a major American car company. Earlier this year, GM's chairman and CEO, Dan Akerson, told a women's business group in Detroit that what he called a "car gal" would soon head one of the Big Three. Now, he's stepping down early, to be replaced as CEO by Mary Barra. Daniel Howes is a columnist for the Detroit News.
