Raised in a tough working-class home in Oklahoma, Elizabeth Warren went on to become a revered scholar, a law professor, a US Senator, and an unlikely political star.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have to admit I did not know very much about Elizabeth Warren when I requested this book for review. As it turns out, I am very glad I did choose her biography. The book details her childhood and development into the powerhouse she is today. At a time when women were expected to go with the flow of society's expectation of their secondary role, Elizabeth Warren had her own views and goals for her life. There were times that her career path took the back burner but it is impossible to keep such a motivated and intelligent individual away for long. It was fascinating to see where some of her most personal values developed and also the many ways she enhanced her future skills as a public spokeswoman. It is a bit dry at times but then again, this is a biography and not contemporary fiction. Recommended to those who would like to learn more about the woman behind the academic/politician.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book on Elizabeth Warren. It details her family and her rise into politics. Sharp, smart, and fierce woman. Well written on a remarkable woman. Worth the read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent book! So much I hadn't known about Elizabeth, and Antonia does a good job showing the depth and life of her.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book gives a great overview of Ms. Warren’s life, accomplishments, and the type of views voters can expect her to hold as she may run in the 2020 elections. It doesn’t cover counter arguments to these views, but is insightful and informative nonetheless.
