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 illustrations, 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. “With its vibrant illustrations, confiding style, and upbeat energy, this series will galvanize both politically minded readers and those heretofore leery of politics.”  — Booklist  (starred review) "This four-volume [Queens of the Resistance] collection is timeless and contains profound truths.

THE TAO OF BETSY   I promise that you'll never find another like me. -Taylor Swift, "ME!"   Elizabeth Warren is a five-foot-eight boss, a woman who starts the fight and wins it, an indisputable Queen of the Resistance. She has led the battle for the middle class since the 1960s. Warren has a plan, and she persists, honey. Snap. Snap-that's just how she rolls. She's a political samurai and will go after a meaningful cause like a bulldog after a bone. In any race or debate, she is a top contender. The Warren jogs out to the podium, appearing unassuming in a soft-knit, crayon-blue blazer and rimless glasses, but then suddenly she's throwing blows like Muhammad Ali-at rich politicians attempting to buy the presidency, big banks, and Wall Street, or men trying to dictate women's choices. Warren comes to slay and annihilate these dirty tricksters. She's also equally as excited to learn, eager to educate, and wants to touch the beating heart of the American people. But don't be fooled by this skinny little girl from Norman, Oklahoma. Warren can land a swing, like a Balboa, to get her point across, and delivers politics for the knockout: facts, analysis, what's right, not wrong, for your nana's healthcare in West Palm Beach. She'll work you through an economics report with the skill and precision of a surgeon. Trump, beware. She's done the research, got the blueprints, and will undo you.   What makes her a feared opponent is her willingness to drill
