Elizabeth Warren: Her Fight. Her Work. Her Life. by Antonia FelixMy rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Previously I read a similar book: A Fighting Chance by Elizabeth Warren, and I found much of the same material. Funny enough, Felix does have more details on Elisabeth Warren's background and family history than Warren's own book. This is a biography and you can tell the author liked her subject. While the two books are similar with the material, there is more in this biography and I'm happy to have read both books.
This book also has more recent material where Warren's own book ends around the time she wins the Senate seat. Here we have a little of what's she's been working doing since getting into office. Warren is still working for the middle class to give it a fair share since it has for decades been skewed away from them and for the rich or corporations, particularly in favor of big banks. Bankruptcy law was where Warren found her niche and economics is everything.
About the ending material: There were several appendices that included an early article Warren wrote and several of her speeches, along with bibliography and index. Fantastic! Too often I find non-fiction books that leave some of these notes and sources and I do not like that trend. Happy to see these included and applaud the author and publisher for it.
Book rating: 4.5 stars
