"There's plenty of funny on these pages. And not just a line here or there; we're talking curse you for making my face wrinkle this way I am now reaching for the eye cream funny. The writers are unabashed fans, writing for those who share the love and making the case that political biographies shine bright when they have as much panache as their subject." -- Washington Post "Reclaiming Her Time renders Congresswoman Waters's extraordinary career in penetrating detail and razor-sharp wit. Andrews-Dyer and Thomas have created a beautiful celebration of Waters's great vision, wisdom, and heart in this book." -- Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author "Thoroughly researched, sharply written, full of amazing visuals and just as commanding as the Congresswoman herself, Reclaiming Her Time is an inspired portrait of the always fearless and inspiring Maxine Waters." -- Gabrielle Union, actor, activist, and New York Times bestselling author of We're Going to Need More Wine "When Congresswoman Maxine Waters made her iconic proclamation "Reclaiming my time," a generation of activists rose up in solidarity and thankfulness for our Auntie Maxine.

Congresswoman, hero, voice of democracy, Maxine Waters is a beacon of hope and promise during these times." -- Patrisse Khan Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, New York Times bestselling author and joint recipient of The Sydney Peace Prize. "When Maxine Waters speaks, not only do people listen, but they learn, and they understand about her indomitable will to fight for the voiceless." -- Bakari Sellers, author of My Vanishing Country "[Andrews-Dyer and Thomas'] buoyant and zesty portrait of the woman known as 'Auntie Maxine' is perfect for the vivacious, unconventional, tireless, and essential Waters." -- Booklist (starred review) "In turn both entertaining yet serious, this informal biography will especially engage political buffs but also general readers of excellent biography." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Energetic. Readers who enjoyed Notorious RBG will cheer this vibrant account of another progressive hero." -- Publishers Weekly "A lively pop history of an impressive career.
