Part of the four-book Queens of the Resistance series, saluting some of the most beloved boss ladies in Congress: a celebration of Elizabeth Warren, the star senator from Massachusetts and 2020 presidential candidate 
 
All hail Queen Elizabeth! She's a “queen" but not a monarch who's spent her life fighting to create a more equal society. Now one of the most recognizable women in politics, Warren took a winding road to become the badass senator from Massachusetts—the first woman senator ever elected from the state. Day-to-day struggle to make ends meet? Check. Single motherhood? Check. Law degree? Check. Tenured Harvard Law professor? You bet! And oh, she created a whole new government agency to protect consumers from predatory businesses. This the story of Liz’s hard-earned rise to the top of the game.
With deep research and writing as endlessly quotable as she is, Queens of the Resistance pays tribute to this phenomenal woman.
 
About the series: Each book of the Queens of the Resistance series is a celebration of the rebellion against the oppression of women and an embracement of the new in the United States government. The series is adorned with sass, discernment, and the badassery of the present and future leadership. The Doomsday Clock is at a minute to midnight, and the patriarchal power grid that lights “the shining city on a Hill” is about to black out. It’s time to yield to the alternative—the power of women.

      The four audiobooks in this series celebrate the lives of noteworthy female politicians. This one focuses on the life and political career of U.S. Representative Maxine Waters. From her humble beginnings in St. Louis, Missouri, where she was one of 13 children raised by a single mother, to her political career spanning more than 40 years, Representative Waters has never been one to back down from a challenge. Lisa Pitts's narration is a treat. Her engaging performance is lively and conversational, and has an aura of professional storytelling. Once can easily imagine Pitts to be a raconteuse presenting this work for a live audience. Engaging and educational, this biographical production will appeal to both teenage and adult audiences. Listeners will not wish to reclaim their time. A.L.S.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
