Elizabeth Warren's rise as one of America's most powerful women is a stirring lesson in persistence. From her fierce support of the middle class to her unapologetic response to political bullies, Warren is known as a passionate yet plain-speaking champion of equity and fairness. In the wake of one fellow senator's effort to silence her in 2016, three words became a rallying cry across the country:
Nevertheless, she persisted...
In this breakthrough biography, bestselling author Antonia Felix carries readers from Warren's hardscrabble roots in Norman, Oklahoma, to her career as one of the nation's most distinguished legal scholars and experts on the economics of working Americans. Felix reveals how Warren brought her expertise to Washington to become an icon of progressive politics in a deeply divided nation, and weaves together never-before-told stories from those who have journeyed with Warren from Oklahoma to the halls of power.

"The U.S. senator is building buzz: This sweeping, pointed biography comes just a year after the publication of Warren's autobiography. Author Felix previously wrote popular books on Laura Bush and Condoleezza Rice; this one is sure to make some noise as well." - Entertainment Weekly
"The book provides a solid discussion of the most controversial aspect of Warren's career: her claim to Native American ancestry based on family stories . . . the biography gives a robust representation of both sides.
" - The Washington Post
"Felix is an excellent writer, and her book is, at its best, quite interesting." - NPR Books
"If you wonder why Elizabeth Warren is profound yet always understandable, tough-minded yet soft-hearted, able to bring real life to Washington – and vice versa – read her life story by Antonia Felix. It will not only show us what a leader can be, but who we can become." - Gloria Steinem
"Compelling, important, and relevant to the present and future of America." - Robert B. Reich, former Secretary of Labor and author of The Common Good
"Many politicians focus on the 'me'. Elizabeth Warren has always been about the 'we' – that sacred American bond of equal justice for all that Dr. King fought for. Felix's biography explains why we need her 'persistent' voice more than ever, now and in the future." - Congressman John Lewis
"Felix deftly brings the backstory of this progressive icon to life in a detailed and revelatory look at one of the country's most admired and outspoken leaders
" - Booklist
"...thoroughly researched and accessibly written ... a worthy introduction to a prominent political figure." - Publishers Weekly
"Admirers of Warren will find this a welcome exaltation." - Kirkus
"Antonia Felix captures Elizabeth Warren's honesty, decency, authenticity, poise and passion in this well-written biography. Her book illuminates the arc of a rising political star - from Oklahoma to Harvard to Washington - who uniquely fuses a first class intellect with a first class temperament." - Mark Green, author, Bright Infinite Future; Founder & CEO, ShadowingTrump.org
