Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

In a work both political and personal, Senator Elizabeth Warren, fresh from her influential run for president, takes account of the lessons she’s learned from the roles that have most defined her, that have shaped her perspectives, strengthened her convictions, and driven home the value of persisting! She urges us to do the same, to dig deep and personal, to value, to commit, and to act.

A New York Times Bestseller

“Part memoir, part political manifesto, this call to arms by the Massachusetts senator draws on pivotal moments from her life to make the case for personal perseverance and progressive policy goals . . . Moving.”
—The New York Times Book Review

Committed, fearless, and famously persistent, Elizabeth Warren—one of our nation’s most visionary leaders—is a beacon for everyone who believes that real change can improve the lives of all Americans.

In Persist, Warren writes about six perspectives that have influenced her life and advocacy. She’s a mother who learned from wrenching personal experience why child care is so essential. She’s a teacher who has known since grade school the value of a good and affordable education. She’s a planner who understands that every complex problem requires a comprehensive response. She’s a fighter who discovered the hard way that nobody gives up power willingly. She’s a learner who thinks, listens, and works to fight racism in America. And she’s a woman who has proven over and over that women are just as capable as men.

A deeply personal call to action, Persist will inspire everyone to believe that if we’re willing to fight for it, profound change is well within our reach.
