Synopsis

Nevertheless, she persisted: a gifty, beautifully illustrated celebration of star senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. Part of the Queens of the Resistance series] After four years of a cheating, racist, xenophobic administration, 2020 will be one of the most important and exciting elections of our era. With a record-breaking 127 women serving in Congress after the historic 2018 midterm elections, and a watershed of six women running for president, it's time to celebrate, ladies] Let's dance. The Queens of the Resistance series will proclaim the glory of some of our most beloved women in Congress: Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, to be published simultaneously. Elizabeth Warren's volume will celebrate her rise, from her humble beginnings in Oklahoma through her time as a wildly popular professor at Harvard Law School, her record of championing the rights of lower-income families and people in debt, and her path to politics. After creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and successfully running for U.S. Senate, Warren is the perfect political foil to the fraudster-in-chief. In the authors' words: 'Watch out, Trump. With a finance bloodhound like Warren on the trail, everybody actually might discover that the emperor has no clothes.' In a fun and substantive fusion of narrative and illustrations, every book in the Queens of the Resistance series will appeal to the broad, diverse, intergenerational audience that reflects the backgrounds of the game-changing politicians they celebrate. The series is as much an ode to the women as it is a celebration of the people's rebellion against a long and tired patriarchy, and a celebration of a new government that represents the diverse identity of the American people in a way it never has before.
