Elizabeth Warren is the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where she teaches contract law, bankruptcy and commercial law. Warren graduated from the University of Houston with a B.S. 1970 and received her J.D from Rutgers University in 1976.
In addition to a wide variety of legal publications, Warren has written books aimed at the general public. Her most recent book, coauthored with Amelia Warren Tyagi is All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan (Free Press, 2005) (ISBN 074326987X).
Warren is also the co-author (with Tyagi) of The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke (Basic, 2003) (ISBN 0465090826). In an article in Time magazine by Maryanna Murray Buechner entitled "Parent Trap Want to go bust? Have a kid. Educate same. Why the middle class never had it so bad", Buechner said of Warren's book:
For families looking for ways to cope, Warren and Tyagi mainly offer palliatives: Buy a cheaper house. Squirrel away a six-month cash cushion. Yeah, right. But they also know that there are no easy solutions. Readers who are already committed to a house and parenthood will find little to mitigate the deflating sense that they have nowhere to go but down.[1] (http://www.time.com/time/insidebiz/article/0,9171,1101030915-483310,00.html)
Since May 2005 Warren has been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
Elizabeth Warren is also the name Betty Ford bore during her first marriage.
