Persist

by Elizabeth Warren

First published 2021

Elizabeth Warren examines the experiences that forged her political vision. The bestselling author and senator draws from her roles as mother, teacher, planner, fighter, learner, and woman to explain how each shaped her approach to public service. Warren reveals how personal struggles with childcare taught her why working families need support. She describes discovering education's power during her own schooling and later as an educator. Her work as a policy planner showed her that complex problems demand thorough solutions. As a fighter, she learned that those in power resist change. Her ongoing education about racism deepened her commitment to justice. And her experience as a woman in male-dominated spaces proved that gender creates no limits on capability. Warren connects these personal insights to her broader vision for America. She argues that real change remains possible for those willing to work for it. The book combines Warren's individual story with her call for political transformation.
