Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren is a professor at Harvard, where she teaches contract, bankruptcy, and commercial law. She is also the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel overseeing the U.S. bank bailout, appeared in the depressing-as-hell documentary Maxed Out, and co-author (with her daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi) of the 2003 book The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke, one of our Featured Book titles.
