Lessons in Chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus

Sarah's take

I wholeheartedly recommend *Lessons in Chemistry* for its brilliant portrayal of Elizabeth Zott, a fierce and unapologetic woman who defies societal expectations while navigating the complexities of her identity and ambition. This book will resonate with anyone who craves a story that challenges the status quo and celebrates the power of resilience and creativity in the face of injustice—it's a delightful blend of humor, heart, and a call for change.

About the book

In 1960s California, brilliant chemist Elizabeth Zott's career is derailed by sexism, leading her to an unlikely second act as a television cooking show host. Through her unconventional approach to recipes and life, she inadvertently becomes a beacon for women seeking their own liberation. A witty, heartfelt story about resilience, self-determination, and finding unexpected ways to change the world.
