What does it take to challenge expectations—and change the world in the process? In Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie Garmus introduces Elizabeth Zott, a brilliant chemist in the 1960s whose sharp mind and unapologetic independence run headfirst into a society determined to keep her in her place. When life steers her from the lab to the set of a TV cooking show, Elizabeth transforms it into something entirely new: a platform that inspires women to think differently about their own possibilities. Witty, bold, and deeply engaging, this novel blends humor with social commentary and celebrates the courage it takes to defy convention.
