Wendy Sherman, a former social worker-turned-top US diplomat, is helping lead the Russia talks.
Wendy Sherman, one of the world's most powerful diplomats, is known as the Silver Fox because of her snowy white mane and her canny deal-making style. On Wednesday, she is helping to lead the US-Russia talks in Europe.
US officials are hoping to defuse the tense situation through negotiations with the Russians - and Ms Sherman is in her element.Is Russia preparing to invade Ukraine? "When I sat across from the Iranians I was the United States of America and perhaps as I woman I can say some things that don't come across as tough, but when I do get tough and when I do lose it, it makes a big impression because it's unexpected," she said.
"She's quick," says James Jeffrey, a former US ambassador to Turkey who has observed Ms Sherman during her work as a diplomat. "And she's very intense." A few years later, she joined the Clinton administration, going on to become the first female undersecretary of political affairs.The negotiations with the Russians have been particularly gruelling, say analysts, and she will need all of the diplomatic tricks she can muster in order to achieve her goals - avoiding a major war in Europe.
