Warren is a warrior for the common person and cites what she calls her 'unflinching determination' to remind readers that her aspirational speeches weren't just campaign rhetoric; she intends to, yes, persist. That rare politician who can craft public policy from a personal viewpoint, whether informed by her own experiences or by empathetic responses to stories shared by constituents, Warren ardently delineates the practical applications behind her innovative solutions . . . This is Warren in depth, up close, and very personal, and a must-read for supporters and everyone interested in humane and just political action. --Booklist (starred review) Famous for being chided for 'persisting' on the Senate floor, Warren is nearly a byword for the application of an unbending, if usually polite, feminism to the corridors of power . . . Now that the Democrats are in power, the author reckons that the time is ripe to shake off the Trump debacle and build 'a nation that works, not just for the rich and powerful but for everyone' . . . A lively and thoughtful memoir that, one hopes, will inspire readers to pursue activism in every realm of society. --Kirkus Reviews
