Elizabeth came from a struggling middle-class family in Oklahoma City. After a heart attack put Elizabeth's father out of work, Elizabeth helped out by babysitting, waitressing, and sewing dresses, all while skipping a grade and shining in her school's debate team. Debate taught Elizabeth how to fight with her words, a skill that eventually won her a state championship and a college scholarship. As a lawyer and law professor, Elizabeth learned why it was so difficult for working-class families like her own to advance economically, and today she continues to fight (with her words) for the poor and middle-class in her role as a politician. The text focuses on the importance of being outspoken--of fighting with words both for yourself and for those that need your help. The backmatter will include an author's note and resources list. Nevertheless, She Persisted is sure to appeal to members of the "resist-erhood" looking for stories of strong female leaders"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Warren, Elizabeth $v Juvenile literature. 610 10 $a United States. $b Senate $b Senate $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women legislators $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Green, Sarah, $e illustrator. 941 $a 6 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020121.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20220402011555.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055905.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806015906.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200220010048.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20181002012842.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07D22212AC1A11E890AE142197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
