Warren was (and is) a storyteller. Her campaign speeches were a series of one-two punches: stories that got people right in their feels — and then policy prescriptions [...] This is precisely what Persist is. It's a series of stories, then plans. It's campaign-trail Warren, in book form.

[Warren's] book makes for a sometimes-funny, sometimes–sharp-tongued pleasure. A lively and thoughtful memoir that, one hopes, will inspire readers to pursue activism in every realm of society..
