PERSIST

The inspiring, influential, famously persistent senator and bestselling author mixes her own vivid stories with a passionate plea for political transformation. Senator Warren says: “I wrote PERSIST because I remain as committed as ever to fighting for an America that works for everyone. I've written a dozen books, but this one is especially personal: I bring the pieces of who I am to the fight for real change, and I passionately believe that we are in a moment when extraordinary changes are possible.”

PERSIST is a powerful call to action in which Warren lays out plans and policies to create big, structural change. It is also a deeply personal book structured around six perspectives that have influenced Warren's life and advocacy. Warren did not even enter the political arena until she was in her early sixties, but she brought with her a lifetime of experience. As a mother, she knows that affordable child care is essential for women who hold down paying jobs. Formerly a teacher, she has long believed in the value of a good and affordable education. Acclaimed for the many plans she offered during her presidential campaign, she's a planner who understands that every complex problem requires a comprehensive response. A born fighter, she has fought against corruption in government and for the country's middle-class families. A dedicated learner, she thinks, listens and works to fight racism. Finally, she's a woman who knows how hard it can be to convince some people that women are just as capable as men.

Candid and compelling, PERSIST will inspire everyone to believe that if we're willing to fight for it, profound change is well within our reach.
