Elizabeth Warren has shared touching photographs taken throughout her life - offering a rare glimpse into the high, lows, struggles and achievements of the democrat presidential nominee hopeful.
As a young scholar, Warren traveled to federal courthouses, studying families overwhelmed by debt. She brought along a photocopier, gathering reams of statistics as she tried to answer one question: Why were these folks going bankrupt?
Warren, then a law professor, wasn't satisfied with textbook explanations; she wanted to hear directly from people drowning in debt. So she sat in courtrooms, listening to one hard-luck story after another.
She interviewed lawyers and judges, duplicated bankruptcy filings on a sturdy copier - nicknamed R2-D2 - that she hauled around to save printing costs. And she was joined in her research by two professor-colleagues who teamed with her to study those documents and build a database.
