Lessons in Chemistry

Book • 2022
Lessons in Chemistry follows Elizabeth Zott, a self-taught chemist working in the 1950s and 1960s, a time when women were undervalued in the scientific community.

After being forced out of her doctoral program and facing numerous challenges, Elizabeth finds herself as the reluctant star of a popular TV cooking show called 'Supper at Six.' Her unique approach to cooking, combining chemistry with everyday life, proves revolutionary and inspires women to challenge societal norms.

The book is a humorous, observant, and vibrant tale of a woman who refuses to accept the status quo and instead dares to change it.
