About this event

We will be discussing "Lessons in Chemistry," fiction by Bonnie Gamus. Lessons tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a 30-year-old single mother who becomes a beloved cooking show host in 1960s Southern California after being fired as a chemist four years earlier. By training she is a research chemist
though her career foundered despite her obvious talent. Female scientists were viewed with suspicion by their male colleagues when she graduated from college.
