Lessons in chemistry af Bonnie Garmus (Bog)

Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is a brilliant, uncompromising woman working at the male-dominated Hastings Research Institute in the early 1960s. After being forced out of her job, she unexpectedly becomes host of the TV cooking show "Supper at Six". Using scientific explanations and rational commentary, she revolutionises both cooking and daytime television, while raising her young daughter alone. Elizabeth’s unconventional approach turns her into a feminist ikon for a generation af amerikanske husmødre, som gennem programmet opfordres til at stille spørgsmål ved kønsroller, ægteskab, karriere og muligheder for kvinder – og langsomt ændre status quo, én molekyle ad gangen.
