Praise for Elizabeth Warren: Her Fight. Her Work. Her Life.:

"Many politicians focus on the 'me'. Elizabeth Warren has always been about the 'we'--that sacred American bond of equal justice for all that Dr. King fought for. Felix's biography explains why we need her 'persistent' voice more than ever, now and in the future." -- Congressman John Lewis

"Felix is an excellent writer, and her book is, at its best, quite interesting." -- NPR Books
