En savoir plus sur le livre
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. An unlikely political star shares her inspiring two-decade journey through the complexities of Washington. Growing up in small-town Oklahoma, Elizabeth Warren dreamed of attending college and becoming an elementary school teacher, a challenging aspiration given her family's modest means. Early marriage and motherhood threatened to derail her ambitions, but after fifteen years, she emerged as a distinguished law professor with insights into bankruptcy. A pivotal phone call invited her to Washington, D.C., to advise Congress on bankruptcy law, marking the start of her education in the often dysfunctional political landscape. Despite a decade of fighting for improved bankruptcy laws and facing pushback from big banks during the financial crisis, she remained undeterred. She proposed a new agency to protect consumers from predatory practices but was denied the chance to lead it. At 62, she took a bold step into politics, winning a fiercely contested Senate race. In this passionate and humorous narrative, Warren articulates her commitment to advocating for the middle class and illustrates her role as a champion for those who believe in a government that serves working families effectively.
