Queens of the Resistance: Elizabeth Warren

How much did I love this book? As much as Elizabeth Warren loves consumer protection. As hard as Elizabeth Warren kicked Mike Bloomberg\’ across the stage in the debates. As deeply as Elizabeth Warren loves Bailey and Bruce. Yes, friends, A LOT. I loved the tone of this book. It felt like an old friend talking to me and giving me a personal education on this Queen of the Resistance. The introduction, setting out what happened in the 2016 election, was cathartic and perfectly stated, so I knew I was going to love this book right from the start. The book does a beautiful job both in explaining Elizabeth\’s (\”Betsy\’s\’\”) upbringing and education, and also in detailing her many accomplishments and her transition from Republican to progressive Democrat. I had heard some of these stories before on the campaign trail, but the writing here is fresh, entertaining and humorous so that I felt I was reading them for the very first time. Also loved the accurate comparisons between Senator Warren\’s vision and FDR\’s New Deal, the accessible discussion of complex economic issues, and the coverage of her campaign for President. I loved this book so much that I\’m going to read all the books in the series (Nancy Pelosi, AOC, and Maxine Waters all have books to come). This series will make a great addition to my bookshelf and I will enjoy reading them when I need a pick-me-up about the state of women and girls in this country. (So, yeah … frequently.). As a final note, let me just thank our democracy for giving us Elizabeth Warren. As the book says, \”She\’s the captain leading the army, and we\’re following.\”

Very interesting biography of Elizabeth Warren written in a colloquial and conversational tone. It makes it feel cozy and personal. ARC from publisher via NetGalley, but the opinions are my own.
