<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Sure to appeal to members of the "resist-erhood" looking for stories of strong female leaders, this picture book biography outlines the incredible history of Warren, the first female senator from Massachusetts. Full color. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> Elizabeth Warren shares the incredible story of the first female senator of Massachusetts. Elizabeth came from a struggling middle-class family in Oklahoma City. After a heart attack put Elizabeth's father out of work, she helped out by babysitting, waitressing, and sewing, all while shining as a star member of her school's debate team. Debate taught Elizabeth how to fight with her words, a skill that eventually won her a state championship and a college scholarship. As a lawyer and law professor, Elizabeth learned why it was so difficult for working-class families like her own to advance economically, and today she continues to fight (with her words) for the poor and middle-class in her role as a senator. Releasing in time for the 2018 election season, Elizabeth Warren emphasizes the importance of being outspoken--of using your words to fight for both yourself and for those who need your help.<br /> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Useful and accessible addition to the growing group of biographies about women politicians."--School Library Journal </br></br>"The story-like text flows, keeping readers engaged.
