by Bonnie Garmus
In the early 1960s, Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant chemist whose career is constantly derailed by the era's rigid gender norms. After being forced out of her research institute, she unexpectedly becomes the star of a beloved television cooking show, 'Supper at Six.' Using her platform to teach women the science of cooking-and the chemistry of change-Elizabeth sparks a quiet revolution. This witty and empowering debut celebrates resilience, intellect, and the courage to challenge the status quo in a male-dominated world.
