![]() ![]() ![]() I think equality in the workplace speaks to women of all ages, everywhere, because that fight isn’t over yet.Ĭooking, which some of you may know is a joy to me, is an important subject in the story. We follow Elizabeth Zott in her quest to be accepted in the chemistry lab – and as an equal – despite the fact in the 1950s, when most of this story takes place, there weren’t any female role models in the chemistry lab. The writing style is bright, breezy, clear contemporary style although the story is a dark mid century modern tale of women with no rights. I think the reasons why include: The story is vibrant, it moves quickly, it is funny, sad, occasionally outrageous and has a big cast of characters that are a mix of intelligent, ignorant, idiots, criminals, well meaning, clueless, and frightening but all add something essential to the plot. It made several lists for good reading in 2022 and is currently high on best sellers lists. ![]() I’ve read it twice and was thrilled by it both times. Lessons in Chemistry is new fiction, contemporary literature published in 2022. Presentation for the Women’s University Club JanuWhat I loved about this book ![]()
