This book is the perfect antidote to the political hopelessness of the United States. Elizabeth is a wonderful narrator and reminds us that dreaming big to improve the future for marginalized folks is our duty. This book is emotional and it’s difficult to be reminded of the president and policies we could’ve had, but it’s also wonderful to be reminded that there is an entire movement of folks that are fighting for change.

I am overcome with love for this woman. She is so frickin' smart, a policy wonk (I say that with the utmost gratitude and love), humble, focused, and a fighter. I wish so badly she had been elected President. I loved listening to her read this on audiobook.
Warren interweaves personal stories into discussions about policy and the issues that matter most to her: childcare, education, housing, systemic racism, etc.. She talks a lot about her experience as a presidential candidate, too, too. This was my first time reading any of her books, so I don't know how much overlap there might be with topics and stories covered in her other memoirs. But she did an excellent job of laying out her vision while keeping it interesting and relevant.
Especially loved the anecdote about Rep. Katie Porter taking a class from her and then deciding to change her course of study, and how much she sung the praises of Rep. Ayanna Pressley.
